Re: Display folder list with numbers of files in each folder and it’s sub folders

If you need to find where you may have large numbers of files stored it is useful to display a list of folders together with how many files are contained within that folder and its subfolders. This enables you to drill down to the area where the most files are stored.

# du -a | cut -d/ -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

As an example, I will run this command in my /httpdocs folder, here is the output:

1959 wp-content
424 wp-includes
333 wp-admin
30 img
28 test
22 var

This immediately informs me where the most files are stored and that I have 1,959 files within my wp-content folder and it’s sub folders.

To get the disk usage of these folders instead, do this:

# du -h --max-depth=1

The output is as follows:

98M ./wp-content
4.0K ./plesk-stat
4.0K ./picture_library
20K ./css
128K ./test
5.7M ./wp-includes
3.8M ./wp-admin
8.0K ./blogs
144K ./img
4.0K ./tmp
124K ./var
108M .

These are useful tools when investigating disk space usage problems.

Re: Show Folders with total disk space used

When finding out where your web space is being used it is useful to be able to list your directories and folders showing total usage for each folder, this allows you to further drill down by concentrating on folders that contain the most usage.

You can perform this task using the du (disk usage) utility:

# du -h --max-depth=1

The output will be in the format as follows:

98M ./wp-content
4.0K ./plesk-stat
4.0K ./picture_library
20K ./css
128K ./test
5.7M ./wp-includes
3.8M ./wp-admin
8.0K ./blogs
144K ./img
4.0K ./tmp
124K ./var
108M .

The -h option shows the usage in human readable form. The –max-depth option ensures we summarise folders in the current directory and not the individual sizes of sub folders.

Re: Plesk SSL Location, Where does Plesk store the SSL cert files?

The Plesk Migration Manager does not migrate any stored SSL certificates, you will need to perform this task manually.

/usr/local/psa/var/certificates

In the event of server failure or migration, you can backup the SSL certificates in their raw format and transfer them to the new server.
