    Help!

    I don’t know if modx is causing this, but in my site files keep appearing and they are 12mb text files!

    Any ideas? When i open them they just contain garbled nonsense letters

    The only words I can make out are ELF and CORE and /lib/ld-linux.so.2

      It’s a core dump from Apache. You might talk to your host about it.

        Why would this happen?

          Not to be curt, but that’s a wide open question analogous to, "Why do people die?".

          You might talk to your host about it.

          They can look at the log files and possibly tell you what’s going on to identify the problem.
