Hi,

I do have a problem with my Drupal where the files uploaded to the sites/default/files are getting deleted overnight. To test if its some problem with the code/database, I replicated the files to another server and tested over there and its working fine. The files stays as such in the second server. Any idea of why this happens ?.. Is it related to server ? or cron ?

first thing you should do is update your drupal core to the latest release. Lastly, check the versions of your modules that handle images and update them as well.

this question is better served in the forums by providing as much information about your installation as possible. Too much information is far better than not enough.

Thanks for that quick reply.
I strongly feel this is not related to the Drupal version I am using ->6.6. Because, as said above, it is working fine on another server using the same code base.
I have created a custom module for my website which needs some files to be uploaded. For this, I am using the contributed module "Upload element". The files uploaded from these are getting deleted overnight.

A) support requests aren't critical
B) when you created this issue there was information asked for at the top of the form that you haven't attempted to provide. How about taking the time to provide necessary information for researching your problem?

Now a few other questions for you ...
Why do you keep logging this against the field system? What makes you think fields have anything to do with it? If you moved drupal to another server and this didn't happen, why would you think its a drupal issue? Why wouldn't it be an environment issue?

Either way, you are using an outdated, insecure version of drupal and you should upgrade your installation.

Lastly, this should be a FORUM thread, not an issue in the issue queue. You will get more eyes on this in the forums.

I am closing this issue.
