Generating huge core.#### dump files

[jyotika]

Recently, my CMSMS v1.6.5 began generating huge core.#### dump files. I upgraded to v1.6.6 and no change.  It seems that News module is causing the issue. Can anyone assist me with finding out how to resolve this issue? It is consuming vast amounts storage space.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling modules that's how I think its the News Module

Module Installed
- Company Directory
- Uploads
- Form Builder
- Photo Album
- Banners
- News

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Enable debugger($config['debug'] = true;) in config file. Post debugger output to forum.

I have a couple of customers who are reporting the core.### files. One did not have them and they then installed the CGBlog, CGExtensions, CG Simple Smarty modules (all on 1.6.6). The core files then appeared. So, they uninstalled these modules and no core files.

Does this help anyone?

I'm in the middle of dealing with this too.

First... tell your host to configure apache so it doesn't generate the core dump files.
Second...I think you may have to upgrade to php 5.2.10, or have your host re-compile php.

Extensive research has told me that PHP 5.2.x will crash if the php version was compiled with an older version of mysql libraries (i.e: there's a version mismatch between what php was compiled with, and what libraries are on the host at the moment)....

Also, there seem to be some serious bugs in earlier versions of php that resulted in segfaults ALOT.

Hi,

I had this problem as well.  Upgrading PHP from V 5.2.6 to V 5.2.11 solved it...thank goodness!
