Hi from Spain,
I have some problems with backlinkspider.
tmp/blacklinkspider is very big, 800 Mb.
I can't enter via ftp because time out error,
I has too much files.
I have deleted all cached files en admin panel.
What can I do to delete some cached files?
Thanks
if you can not access this folder via ftp or control panel,
it may be possible to write a small php script to delete this folder.
here is an example:
Code:
<?
$dirname = 'tmp/backlinkspider/';
function delete_directory($dirname) {
if (is_dir($dirname))
$dir_handle = opendir($dirname);
if (!$dir_handle)
return false;
while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if (!is_dir($dirname."/".$file))
unlink($dirname."/".$file);
else
delete_directory($dirname.'/'.$file);
}
}
closedir($dir_handle);
rmdir($dirname);
return true;
}
delete_directory($dirname);
?>
NOTE: I did not write that code, and I have not tested it.
You may have to specify a full domain path for the dirname variable.
It may also not accept a double folder name, so you might have to make it "backlinkspider" and place the code into the /tmp folder to initiate it, but due to htaccess, i dont know if that will be possible.
I recommend upgrading your script, we currently have disabled backlink spider as it is conflicting with googles new algorythm.
Ok, I'm deleting the files via ftp command line client.
I have upgrade the script.
Thanks a lot!!!
I set up a cron to delete those cache files ever few days. If you're in cPanel cron jobs, you can set up a regular time then the command would be something like
cd /home/USERNAME/public_html/tmp/backlinkspider && rm -f cache*
replace your user name in USERNAME
