I had to get my host to empty the temp partition for my sites and I was wondering if there is a setting for this in coppermine so it doesn't get full, or to empty it using the script?
No idea what you mean by 'database temp partition'. Coppermine doesn't leave temporary files anywhere other than in albums/edit and it cleans that itself.
I mean in the database, not the file system. I don't fully understand it myself, but the site filled up some 'temp' section of the database, perhaps with session info or something? I don't know.
Only thing that's known to fill up the database is the accumulated 'Keep detailed hit statistics' info. If you don't need that make sure it's disabled in config.
Thanks, I'll give that a go.
