Hi, I encounter a strange thing related to Apache. I'm a software engineer, and develop a network application with Apache + MySql + PHP recently. Actually it's a very simple apache implementation, the main function is that users upload file and the file will be stored to some place in linux. But I found the files will disappear about three days later after these files were loaded. I have checked that the owner of these uploaded files is apache in linux, so I doubt that whether these files expired at three days, which is a attribute of Apache in this situation. So I need help, thanks a lot ! Robert
After you upload the file do you copy it somewhere or do you rely on the file that is returned to you in $FILES, if you don't copy the file then it's a temporary file and will vanish at some point. Have a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php If you are moving the files to a storage folder then check to see if there's a cron job running which cleans that folder or it's parents.
