How to stop generating core files



You may come across core files which gets generated within your accounts . The possible reason for the core files getting generated is when a php process is killed, apache creates core files under your account .


On phpSuexec servers this may cause due to incorrect php.ini file placed in your account and if it is caused due to php/apache then you can get rid off those core files by editing the httpd startup file on the server end. Following are the steps to edit httpd startup file.




root@server [~]#which httpd

/usr/sbin/httpd


root@server [~]# nano /usr/sbin/httpd


Search for ulimit lines .For eg : you can see these lines


ulimit -n 1024

ulimit -n 4096

ulimit -n 8192

ulimit -n 16384


You need to add ulimit -c 0 at the end .Which will look like :


ulimit -n 1024

ulimit -n 4096

ulimit -n 8192

ulimit -n 16384

ulimit -c 0


root@server [~] /etc/init.d/httpd restart
