I have a server running Fedora and cPanel. On this server I have a
site using a php/MySQL ecommerce cart OS-Commerce. For some reason
the site is getting errors and generating files in the root WWW folder
named core.#### (some number) It looks as though a new file is created
each time the site cannot display a page (which I am not sure what is
causing this problem either) <br>
<br>
These core files range in size and are quickly filling up the available
drive space if not regularly deleted. <br>
<br>
Another problem which I am not sure is related or not but the site
continues to get Internal Server errors at various times. One time the
page appears to load fine and another the error is displayed. I have
other sites on the same server that are working fine.<br>
<br>
Can anybody help me out in determining what these core files are and
how to stop them?<br>
