imagemagick files overloading server

    I just took over web maintenance for our site this year without any debriefing from the previous web manager – and I got this message today. I can’t find the image magick plugin in WordPress, and I’m not sure where to begin with this!

    Recently, the “/” partition on the server
    has reached 100% capacity. This is largely due to the following two files:

    /tmp/magick-10749rVZY9-amUZvL.pam
    /tmp/magick-12129fqGUGNUshANU.pam

    As the / partition is not intended to hold large files or customer data,
    the two files have been moved to ~tupelopress1/tmp. I would suggest
    updating your code to use a tmp directory under your account space as
    filling up the / partition can cause software to crash and potentially
    cause file corruption.

    Hi,

    This plugin does not have any settings for that. That is controlled in the PHP ImageMagick module or config. We could set it in the code, but we don’t which means it’s up to the config. The hosting environments are often very different so I?m not sure this is something we should try to set in the plugin.

    What is a mystery to me is that I don’t have ImageMagick as a plugin in my WP for this web page. If we used it at one time, it was removed before my time. I’m not sure where these files are being generated then!

    Imagemagick is not a plugin in WordPress, it’s on the server. A module to PHP or as binary.

    Ah. I see, so I need to understand which plugins are using it in WP in order to understand why it has suddenly created these large files?

    How do I figure out which plugins are using it?

    I think it’s not WP causing that problem. I would search in the ImageMagick config or server config. But those temporary files is not my expertise unfortunelly. However I think you might not get that help here so try another forum or Stackoverflow for that specific question.
