Hey there,

I'm having the problem, that all files, createtd from within drupal, do only have a size of 0 kb. In other words, files are created, but do not have any content.

This problem occurs for optimized .css and .js files (performance tuning) as well as for backups, created with the backup_migrate-module.

I deactivated all 3rd party modules, but the problem is still there.

I already checked the permissions of the folders, but as files are created, I don't think, this is a permission issue. This problem is new since a view weeks (not completely sure, when I saw it for the first time). Maybe, it came with D6.10, maybe earlier.

I'm sure, I didn't have this problem at the beginning of that installation, because I created some backups in december 2008 and had some trouble with optimized .js-files. I do also remember, that I tried to create a new design when css optimization was switched to on, what didn't work with firebug :-)

This does not seem to be a module or theme related issue, as I did not only turn off all modules, but also switched back to garland theme.

I looked at the dblog, but there are no error messages or warnings.

If you need more information, about my system, please let me know. I'm using mySQL 5.0 and PHP 5 since the beginning of this installation.

Best wishes,
forschi

This appears to still happen and is due to the Performance optimization assuming that it always needs to create CSS files for media="print" even if there is no supplied CSS files for print media. The result is that an empty CSS file is being generated and needlessly attached.
