I added a new web site to our RaQ4r today. It has it's own IP address for SSL purposes.

After I added the domain, I added one site administrator.

Then, when I tried to upload files with FTP software, I was given the message that disk quota was exceeded! :(

I gave the account a 100MB limit and was trying to upload about 700KB of files.....

When I looked into it on the admin side, it showed that the site was using 383.7 MB of space, immediately after site creation.

Any idea??? I up'ed the quote to 1000MB so I could upload the files, but I don't want to give my client that much space just because....

This site was the 9th domain added to the RaQ...........when I added another (the 10th) later in the evening, it worked fine....

Just to clarify, is everything working OK now or do you still have problems with the "9th domain"?

The domain is working fine.....now that I upgraded the allowance to 1000MB...........but I KNOW that I only transferred about 10MB of files into the account.....and the admin screens still show that it is using over 380MB of space.....

I would check the following:

1. Make sure that you are increasing the allowance on the actual site administrator account in line with the site itself

2. Issue the following to confirm the disk quota, where NNN is the site number:
(as root)
quota -g siteNNN

Compare the allowance (quota) to what is being used on the volume (blocks)

3. Search the /home volume for all files owned by that group incase there are any surprises (this may take a while to run):
(as root)
find /home -group site44 -print | xargs ls -la | more

4. If it still does not tally, try rebuilding the quota files (this may take some time):
(as root)
/sbin/quotacheck -avug

Then:
quota -g siteNNN

And see if it's fixed. IF it is, it may take the UI a while to update with the correct values.

Worked Perfectly! Thanks!!

After I rebuilt it, it showed a correct value, and the UI showed the new values immediately!

Thanks!
