Why Prestahop creates Core Files

[Rita]

Hello, I need your help.

I'm developing a website in prestashop but what happens is that the platform itself is creating several core.NNN files by itself which leads to running out of space on the server and so the site goes offline.

Can you tell me how to solve the problem?
Or with whom I have to speak to help me solve this situation?

Thank you in advance!

Hi 

and welcome to the forum. That seams really odd, I do not think PrestaShop does not create those files. Can you give more info.

Like what version of PrestaShop you are using, where those files are created (in what folder). On what type of hosting you are and

do you have WordPress installed there also ?

Also have you tried to open those files in text editor?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I also find it very strange, but in fact it is happening. The version of pestashop is 1.7.3.3 is creating these files inside root / adminNNNNNNN / and I do not have wordpress installed, just prestahop.
Yes, I already tried. I could not understand what it was.

Can you maybe get few files, compress in one zip file and send it to me via Private Message ?

I will send you a file. Thank you.

OK those are big files

so those are core dumps

and you can check what script is generating those dumps, there could be some problem that you should know

Check with you hosting and also maybe ask after to disable core dumps compleatly

Good luck with that and hope hosting can help a bit.
