CC compiler - gcc-2.7.2.3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 62: uname -a IRIX d8544-cs 5.3 11091810 IP7 mips >Description: Apache leaves occational tmp files in the cache area root which are never removed from the system. These are a result of a client breaking the connection during the transfer of a document from an external host. The document is partially transfered. When the client breaks the connection, the transfer quits, but apache never unlinks the file. This can be resolved temporarily by having a cron job remove all files of the form tmpXXXXX from the root of the cache directory. It does appear that cacheclean eventually will remove these files. -rw--w---- 1 internet intgroup 44850 Jun 25 19:05 tmpa001Yc -rw--w---- 1 internet intgroup 375262 Jun 25 19:31 tmpa002ci -rw--w---- 1 internet intgroup 8517 Jun 25 19:40 tmpa002eB -rw--w---- 1 internet intgroup 8517 Jun 25 19:35 tmpa002eL -rw--w---- 1 internet intgroup 16656 Jun 25 11:08 tmpa005VT >How-To-Repeat: Initiate a transfer using client browser (I'm using netscape 4.0). During the transfer, hit the stop button (transfer is incomplete). The temporary file is created but incomplete. The rename to the Cache is not completed (this is good). The unlink is not executed. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
