The site I'm trying to load does not have any use of the cgi-bin or
"MT"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I did several searches on google and did not find anything
that I fealt was relavent to the core files.&nbsp; <br>
<br>
I am relatively new to linux so maybe I am missing something you more
experienced users are trying to tell me :)<br>

        <pre wrap="">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)

These core files range in size and are quickly filling up the available
drive space if not regularly deleted.

A quick Google found this:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bloghouse.net/index.php?p=24">http://bloghouse.net/index.php?p=24</a>
Something about searching lots of comments causing a core dump.

        <pre wrap="">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.

Can anybody help me out in determining what these core files are and how to
stop them?

    <pre wrap="">Hmmm... sounds like a bug in the cgi-bin. Is that "MT" cgi OSS, or
binary only?

just guessing.
