Hi Aria,

Thanks for replying, I appreciate your help.

Slightly off topic I apologise but I am really stuck and would be grateful
for any help.

My website fell over, my server provider said the server had ran out of
inodes and that I needed to delete the contents of /var/lib/php/session
This took about 3 days to delete going from 650k inodes down to 190k inodes.
Then they said I needed a chron job to keep on top of the contents of
/var/lib/php/session
So I added a chron job to the chrontab that deleted the contents once a
minute.
The result, my email broke and my ecommerce shopping cart stopped working.
I changed the chron job to run every 60 minutes, Email seems fine but my
shopping cart is still broken.
Are these 2 problems symptoms of the same problem? i.e. I am deleting stuff
from the /var/lib/php/session folder too quickly?

If I change the Horde setting will this also fix the inode problem or do I
need to set something else?

Cheers
