Layered navigation - Cron Jobs dumps a lot of files in my root-folder?!

[moparmaniac]

Hello,

By mistake I found myself at my ftp-root, absolute top of my webspace, seeing the perl, php, mail, and public_html-catalog. When scrolling down a bit I found files with names like this "blocklayered-price-indexer.php?token=5f7f10bb56&return_message=0.44" It was 165pcs of them!!

Im a bit confuse, because I saw a few others too, cron.php?secure_key, gsitemap-cron.php?token, and index.php?token (maybe all of the filenames, maybe not)

Is this normal or is something very wrong with my install or config?

Any ideas would be helpful

Hi,

do you use a custom theme, or just the default one  (maybe modified a little)? If it's a bought/downloaded one, it can be some 'left over' debug information' the developer added to find a bug...

 

My 2 cents,

Hi,

Thanks for an idea, but...............

Its boguht.

Sorry, that I forgot to tell you that all files has the same timestamp/s, as the cron jobs are set to execute.

Where should theese files be located (in a normal case)?

The cron job files you mean? You can go to your cron jobs and edit them. There you will see the path (if there's a file being executed). Can also be a direct command...

Sorry for the delayed answer......................

When I had the files downloaded, I was able to take a closer look with an editor.

All files had this text inside "BAD TOKEN"

I think my webhost had made some mistake, when setting up my cron jobs.......................

Read something about it here:

This is because of your cron job setup and is absolutely no problem regarding your shops functionality, except when u run out of space because of it of course  

You possibly have wget commands in your cronjobs:

"wget https://www.domain.tld/shop/url.php?attribute=attr1"

wget downloads the html content that gets back from the server. Either try using "wget -q https://blablabla.com" for quiet mode (I haven't tested it! Might still save the files on your server). Or you can try to use the php runtime on your server instead of wget (if at all possible).

Running upper wget command with php might look like:

"/usr/bin/php https://www.domain.tld/shop/url.php attribute=attr1"

"/usr/bin/php" must be replaced with your servers php runtime directory, ask your webhost if you don't know it. Watch the URL attributes! The "?" is being replaced by a " " (space)!
