Strange files created ‘index.html?ACT=XX&type=db’

I have set-up a cron job to save the DB at midnight everyday.

Every time BP runs, a blank file is created ‘index.html?ACT=40&type=db’.

Is this a Cron or Apache thing or is BP doing this?

Hi Elliot,

That’s actually from the wget command. There are parameters to disable that but are usually system dependent so I can’t offer insight there. Adding those parameters to the command should set you straight though.
