Hey Guys I am running VB 3.8 and I have noticed that my forums directory has 1000's of files that start with this name: vbupload

Examples:

-rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Feb 9 04:43 vbuploadZzpqIZ
-rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Mar 16 00:40 vbuploadZzR8jy
-rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jan 25 18:32 vbuploadzZrcQU

About 99% of these files are 0 bytes. Image uploads work on the site. Does anyone know what these files are? Can the blank files be deleted?

Despite what was reported on the vBulletin.com thread there is indeed code in vBulletin 3.x to create those files.

In 3.8.7 it starts on line 271 of class_upload.php and also line 341 of class_vurl.php.

It looks like the guy who said it has something to do with the php temp directory was correct- my guess it's a result of a server without a working php temp directory defined- or some other temp directory issue.

But it looks like they can safely be deleted- especially the 0 byte ones.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
