Locating Unused Files
Apr 19, 2008if there is any good method for finding files that have not been accessed by the server for a long period of time. I was thinking this might be a good way of clearing space.

View 10 Replieswe've been having issues with reaching or exceeding our disk quotas. I've checked carefully, and while I've cleared our mail queue's, I don't think that's the issue.
So what I'm really looking for is a way to figure out why we have so many files (our quota is 220000, and I'm pretty confident that we aren't intentionally doing anything to create so many files). There's lots of information on finding the folders with the largest file sizes, but locating the folders with the greatest number of files isn't quite so simple--or at least, it doesn't seem very clear to me.
Does anyone know a way via the command line to figure out this information, short of going through every single folder and figuring out how many files are in the specific folder?
I created backup file the other day and tried to move it to root, however its not there is there anyway I can search the entire search for it? I cant remember the backup's file name either so it is possible to search for a file using locate or find, and list all files with a tar.gz exstension as this would help nail it down.

My server provider says its normal, but he didn't really seem interested in the problem.
In my new job as webmaster (last one left without notice), I added 12 IP addresses to our managed server. Silly me, thought the cpanel would show the new ones seperate from the ones currently used.
But when I went to add a new website, I discovered that now all IP addresses (both used and unused) are listed in the same dropdown menu. Web host tech supt says unless I had a listing of old, used IP addresses, to compare with, I would have to manually test each one.
Since this company has over 100+ websites on this server, this will be slow going.
Does any one have an idea of a legit software app that I can use test ping my websites for me so I can track down these newly assigned but unused IP addresses for my sites?
Plesk12 has been installed on Windows2012R2. In the Tools and Settings/Database Servers list we have
· Local MySQL server (default for MySQL)
· .MSSQLSERVER2012
· sql-db-1 (default for MS SQL)
We only expect to use the remote sql-db-1 database for user databases.
Can we delete the other 2 databases and is this recommended? Does the Local MySQL server contain the Plesk Management database/schema?
I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.
i had a problem with one of my servers
due to changes in the firewall couldn't i login anymore.
Someone had to go over and undo that modification.
Now i am checking the log files like secure and
messages logs, but logs of the day he logged in are simply not
there (along with some days more).
When I upload a file in FTP I can not see the file, When I upload the file again asked me to file any replaced it exists, When using Cpanel can upload any file, And working well.
When watching the size of folders I find little in the FTP but sized Cpanel see him very different.
I have done this:
1-Restart FTP Server.
2-permit folders to 644.
3-permit files to 744.
Is there a way to see your os files in ftp software like cute ftp n edit them?

In the last couple of days my server/website has been acting a little strange and I can't recall doing anything to it in this time.
1) Now and again a normal PHP page will pop-up in the Firefox download manager. Usually the page is simply compiled and shown to the browser.
2) Images that really are present on the server sometimes randomly don't show in IE.

Can anyone recommend the best cost-effective solution for serving up video files to websites on other servers?
Basically looking for a central storage location to hold video files (flv, swf) that will be hotlinked from websites on other servers.
I'm currently using about 200GB bandwidth monthly, and need to increase that to about 500GB without violating any TOS or getting cut-off/suspended.
Not sure if the best option will be a hosting account, file storage site, etc.
I've just uploaded my website files onto the server, the website is working fine, but I'm not sure my files are 'arranged' right. I uploaded my images in a folder, but all the rest of the files are 'loose' along with the index file. If I go to either of my domain names, the website appears, which is ok for now, but I only really intended it to under one domain name, so there may be problems if I want another site up there. I think my files should be in a folder. Is this right? Should the index file be in the same folder, or should it be outside the folder with the links changed accordingly. I've been emailing my hosting service, and they 've been trying to help, but I feel a bit thick because I don't really understand what they're saying. Could someone tell me in very plain english how the files should be arranged?

I run a fairly popular file hosting service and in the process of moving servers.
At the moment i have a system that automatic create a new folder each day and store new uploaded files into this folder. The name of the folder match the current date etc.
Example:
/2009/06/15/...
I find this system a bit "outdated" and belive there is a smarter way to do this.
My new fileservers contain ~10TB of available diskspace (each).
Average filesize is around 10MB.
I was told not to put all the files into one folder, still the case?

I have a problem with a .dat file on my webserver. It seems to download correctly (I have added the mime type), but my application refuses to use/read the file correctly.
This is moving from an Apache server, where it worked perfectly, to IIS6. Apache reported the mime as text/plain, whereas I've tried both this and application/octet-stream on IIS.
The dat-file is actually a ZIP password protected file containing an XML-file.
Could there perhaps be some issues with dato format? I'm most greatful for any insigth into the matter.
