website space quota is showing in red.

When I check the space used by the website it is the half the size allocated for the specific website.
so I am wondering how to calculate the correct space for the website.
That is say I have allocated website space of 1GB
when I check the vhost space used using the command
du -hs
I get 500mb.

 

I mean which folders are added or taken into consideration for quota for website.
as when I actually check the website it is half the size reported from the quota in ISPCONFIG.

 

Check System > Main Config > Include backup files into web quota.: Is that one checked?

 

Yes that is checked and it is showing the quota for the website in red.
for example used 990mb of 1000mb.
whereas when I check the website file size with du -hs it gives me 500mb
so where else I need to check to arrive at a total of 990mb.

 

The backup files of the website (as you enabled to count them in) located in /var/backup/webxx if you didn't change the standard backup path... disable that checkbox if you do not wish to count the backup files in the web quota.

 

Thanks. that is the reason why I am getting it red on even when website file space is not used to that extent.
