 Hi,

I enabled the 'Calculate diff while scanning' option in PHP file change scanner feature. '...admitools_filecache' db table seems to hold the file contents which substantially increase db size. Now, I've disabled the option and ran the scans but the db table size remains the same. How to reduce the size of the db?

Also, when PHP file change scanner is run through cron job, log is not maintained on the site. How to mark files safe when the log is not maintained and no option to mark them?


Thanks!

Hello,

at the moment there isn't any option to clear the #__admintools_filescache table, we will add it in the next version.
In the meantime, if you want to clear the table contents you have to manually truncate the table.

Regarding your second question, if you don't see any log it means that the scan is not run. Can you please double check the output of the CRON job? Did you see any errors in it?
