Dear DNN users hi.

My portal has only 9 pages, i have disabled and cleared sitelog, eventviewer and shedulehistory.

The only thing that i have enabled in Shedules is the purgusers online because i want the usage of the Users Online module.

I have exequted the following SQL querries.

truncate table EventLog
truncate table ScheduleHistory
truncate table SiteLog go

And after that

DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (markdesign) ;
sp_spaceused

Here are the screenshots


11088;!!! I have only 9 pages in one portal. And the UsedPAges grows all the time!
Sometimes it shows me two FileIDs like 1 and 2 with different characteristics. It seems to me like the 1 is smaller in characteristics.
Is this normal;


The database_size KEEPS ON growing! Without adding anything.

Please help me. I' m desperate.

I have done so much work for this site and i do not want to bring it down...

I have hosting problems.

For your information the DNN version i am using is 4.8.4 and i performed a clean installation in PLESK 7.6.1.
I created the database through the PLESK environment.

Bye and thank you ALL.

Try doing a full backup and then running the shrink database. If the hosting company is running a full recovery model on your database the trasaction logs are still being stroed and can't be purged until you complete a full backup.

If that doesn't work ask the hosting company to purge your transaction logs for you.

I'm not sure why its growing out of control but have a look and the log viewer and see what event it was making there and what errors were occouring.

I also found this which may be of use to you to solve this:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/ClearTransactionLog.aspx

John thank you very much for your reply.

This is what i did and my database finaly became 9 MB in size!

I ran this SQL qery:

BACKUP LOG db_Name WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
TRUNCATE TABLE eventlog
TRUNCATE TABLE sitelog
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (db_Name);

After that i ran

sp_spaceused

and

select * from sysfiles

The result was to have a MUCH smaller in size database.

I also noticed that (before clearing and custimizing the event viewer) the event viewer was FULL of exception cause of a module i had installed.

That' s all.

Thanks again.


I will also look at the link you gave me.
