GTranslate Pro Too large number of files - Server issue

[1969]

Hi

My server is running out of inodes which has temporarily been increased slightly until we find a solution.

Gtranslate folder has +300,000 files. Is there any way to reduce amount of files in these folders by suppressing some languages in the module? When I do so, it seems that the cache is still very large.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Where do you have that files?

In gtranslate/cache or in gtranslate/cache/XX language folders?

[1969]

In all the the individual cache folders.

[Edvard]

You can delete all files directly in cache folder.

Check and let me know how many files there are in an individual language folder, let's say cache/es ?

5,103 files

OK, so in average every language folder will have 5000 files for your site and 5000 x 58 = 290000 files...

To disable some of the languages you need to remove them from your sitemap.txt file and also modify .htaccess file and replace [a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW with the language codes you want to stay enabled, ex.

en|ru|it|de|fr|sv ... etc.

After that you can delete the files in disabled language folders to reduce files amount.

Ok thanks Edvard,

YOU MEAN
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA]

BECOMES:
RewriteRule ^(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)/(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)/(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(en|ru|it|de|fr|sv)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA]

Right?

[Edvard]

Correct.
