Folders in cache/fvm/min
-
Hi
Could you please advise why there are folders / websites url’s folders created in cache/fvm/min

Hi,
The cache directory is where your css and js files get combined and minified.
FVM does not modify your original files.It’s safe to delete, and the plugin will regenerate them as needed.
The domain will match the http request from each user.
If you see folders that do not match your actual domain, that means your server is configured to serve that site whenever someone requests a different site from your server, usually if that is the default site for where there is no domain match.Thanks
So we see empty folders created in there because we use an CDN for our js and css files ?
Our server is not serving these website in any other way.
E.G
We see empty folders created in cache/fvm/min like:nuvolablu.nl
110.242.68.4This had nothing to do with our domain
When you enter this domain it has the same hosting isp and ns servers but not the same ip addres server.P.s
We used the js query 3 option from your module before.is on the same
You may not have that site on your server at all, however, most likely in the past, before you moved to that server, someone else that owned that domain did.
If there is a reference anywhere on the web, even if it’s expired, invalid, etc, saying that nuvolablu.nl should be hosted on your IP, what will happen is that bots and some users may follow the link and request it from your server.
You don’t need to have the site on your server for it to accept requests for the domain.
If you setup your hosts file on your laptop to say that google.com is hosted on your server ip, and then open google chrome, what will happen is that it will try to open google.com by requesting it to your server.
If you are not specifically only allowed your site to respond to http requests, and refusing any other domains, the server will default to the only site available, or the first one of your virtual hosts on the server, in alphabetical order.
If you only have one site on your IP, anyone can manually set their dns and request any domain from your site. They will always see your actual site, but it’s as if your domain has changed.
This means, your server has been a target of bots, so it may be worth checking and blocking them.
You could also create a default virtual host on the server, here is an example.

How FVM is set is to listen to the HTTP request, so when someone is requesting nuvolablu.nl from your server, while defaulting to your actual site domain, it will assume it’s a different site.
This is needed for sites with multiple domains. For example, some sites have example.com / example.net / example.org all served by the same wordpress site.
Some others have different content depending on the tld, so you could have the same site serving a different page to example.com / example.co.uk / example.de etc.If FVM cannot listen to the HTTP request, it would simply link all resources to the primary domain and fail for these cases.
You would need to have a default virtual host on your server, so that any unknown / unwanted domain requests, would not fallback to your main domain.
If someone requests nuvolablu.nl from your server and you do not have that site on that server, the server should return an error, instead of falling back to the main site.
Its like your phone number… if someone used to own that number before you, it may happen that you will receive calls for those people, unless you specifically only allow certain people to call you or block them.
