Hello Support

My website became 1GB bigger over night. How can this be? I see this in Plesk in my daily automated backup. I am a little paranoid after the recent trackback issue in EB. Please advise.

thanks

Paul
Hello Paul,

To be honest, I am not really sure where these extra files are coming from because there's no way for me to see this. You should actually try to view the folders / files on your cpanel and see if it provides a breakdown of your folder and file sizes.

i guess that a user upload a lot of images via media manager and now your site is 1GB bigger..that could happen in easyblog, because there is no control how many images a user is able to upload! http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog/item/307

Hi Rene

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the image size for my "images" folder and it looks OK running at about 100+ MB. I will go through all the folders with my FTP program and calculate size and see if I can find a culprit. I voted for your suggestion as it seems to me to be basic common sense. As far as I know there could be a hard core porn site hidden in my Site and I would not know. Oh dearie me

best

Paul

Hello Support

My fault completely. I uploaded some stuff over the weekend that was pushing a GB. I forgot completely. Things have been a little stressful recently. Stupid me. Sorry if I wasted any bodies time.
