Storage Scanner Tool for Missing Files

The storage scanner tool checks if each file entered into the FileCloud database has a corresponding physical file in storage. If a physical file is missing, the storage scanner prints its database entry details. An admin can remove the invalid files listed from the database.

The tool is storagescanner.php, and is located in C:\xampp\htdocs\resources\tools\fileutils

To run the Storage Scanner tool:

1. In a command line enter:
   
   For Windows:

   cd c:\xampp\htdocs\resources\tools\fileutils
   PATH=%PATH%;C:\xampp\php

   For Linux:

   cd /var/www/html/resources/tools/fileutils/

2. Then, for both Windows and Linux, enter:

   php  storagescanner.php [-h hostname]

Parameters

-h hostname - (optional ) fully qualified name of the site in a  multisite installation. Do not include this parameter for a default site or a standalone site.
