Forum Archive - GTranslate Pro Too large number of files - Server issue

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?

In all the the individual cache folders.

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?

Correct.
