[solved] Panic: File-Compiler Log new entries every second

[biber]

Recently I transferred my website http://malabu.de from a local directory to my webhoster. The site is usable, but changes to a template file have not been applied. The log file fills up every second with new messages.

Can you try disabling FileCompiler for files in templates?? Or I'm just seeing the logNotices options, maybe that?

/**
 * File compiler options (as used by FileCompiler class)
 *
 * Enables modification of file compiler behaviors. See also $config->moduleCompile
 * and $config->templateCompile settings. 
 *
 * #property bool siteOnly Specify true to prevent compiler from attempting compilation outside files in /site/ (default=false).
 * #property bool showNotices Show notices in admin about compiled files to superuser when logged in (default=true).
 * #property bool logNotices Log notices about compiled files and maintenance to file-compiler.txt log (default=true). 
 * #property string chmodFile Mode to use for created files, i.e. "0644" (uses $config->chmodFile setting by default).
 * #property string chmodDir Mode to use for created dirs, i.e. "0755" (uses $config->chmodDir setting by default). 
 * #property array exclusions Exclude paths that exist within any of these paths (default includes $config->paths->wire).
 * #property array extensions File extensions that we compile (default=php, module, inc).
 * #property string cachePath Path where compiled files are stored (default is $config->paths->cache . 'FileCompiler/')
 *
 * @var array

$config->fileCompilerOptions = array(
	'siteOnly' => false,  // only allow compilation of files in /site/ directory
	'showNotices' => true, // show notices about compiled files to superuser when logged in
	'logNotices' => true, // log notices about compiled files and maintenance to file-compiler.txt log.
	'chmodFile' => '', // mode to use for created files, i.e. "0644"
	'chmodDir' => '',  // mode to use for created directories, i.e. "0755"
	'exclusions' => array(), // exclude filenames or paths that start with any of these
	'extensions' => array('php', 'module', 'inc'), // file extensions we compile
	'cachePath' => '', // path where compiled files are stored, or blank for $config->paths->cache . 'FileCompiler/'
);

Hi @elabx,

thanx for your reply.

I tried to disable module compilation and  template file compilation in the /site/config-file, but that made the whole site unreachable.

The file-compiler log grows and grows, and meanwhile I'm even not able to delete the about 10 000 entries. It shows again and again: 

Compiled file: /site/modules/FieldtypeSelect/FieldtypeSelect.module

I am completely at a loss.

I de-installed the FieldtypeSelect.module and now the wave of log entries stops.

But the following questions remain:

1. What exactly does this module?
2. Do I need it?

1. FieldtypeSelect is very old module from 2013 that "produces a drop down list (via a "select" input) that would allow you to define a list of options in the field's configuration from which to select a value. After installing, you'll have a new "Select" fieldtype that will allow you to define the items you'd like in the drop down. You'll be able to define these options in a text box on the field's configuration screen. Just put each option on it's own line."
   
   Github Repo: https://github.com/Hani79/Processwire_FieldType_Select_Drop_Down
   My fork: https://github.com/matjazpotocnik/Processwire_FieldType_Select_Drop_Down 
   
   You should use FieldtypeOptions nowdays.
    
2. Can't answer that, see if the fieldtype Select is used in any template?

Hi @matjazp,

thanx for your reply and explanation. 

I really did not use the FieldtypeSelect module and could delete it without any disadvantage.

I started with PW ten years ago with two projects. 

After a learning phase and a lot of help from this forum, everything ran without problems until I decided to update this website http://malabu.de.

I found some old modules and problems with the current  PW version.

And again I found help. So I have to say thanx to this beautyful forum and this great CMS.
