texte = --14dae9340c59f6f5a204b52828fc Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We have WebDNA 6.2 running on CentOS. Our site uses a global folder to store cart files (not WebDNA's default location). Until a month ago it was common to have about 25,000 cart files added to the folder over a 24 hour period. Now we are getting 500,000 cart files being created in a 24 hour period. There is a noticeable slowdown if the files are not frequently removed, but removal results in the loss of cart files that have not been modified in the past 24 hours. This is not due to an increase in traffic because analytics shows only a small increase (~10%) in visitors. I have set up a cron job to manage the files for now, but I'd appreciate any suggestions on what may be the cause of this increase and how I might stop it. The vast majority of the files appear to have no real content (no item added to the cart). I am not familiar with how these files are created, but I assume it is a type of session control and is being handled by WebDNA. I can't find any evidence that our code could be creating the files.
