[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 6.2.1: sys_file - multiple 'directory' entries for site root parent folder

[Christian Reiter]

Hi everyone,

I have a site that is living at a path like

   /home/www/xxx/html/experiment4/

so the structure is

   /home/www/xxx/html/experiment4/index.php
   /home/www/xxx/html/experiment4/fileadmin/

etc.


In sys_file I find many entries like this:

select uid, identifier, mime_type , storage, from_unixtime(tstamp) from 
sys_file where identifier like '%/experiment4%'

uid 	identifier 	mime_type 	storage from_unixtime(tstamp)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
11950 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 13:42:01
11951 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 13:42:07
11952 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 13:44:17
11953 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 13:44:22
11955 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:08:02
11956 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:08:44
11957 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:13:04
11958 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:13:43
11959 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:20:15
11960 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 14:23:13
11961 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 15:18:57
11970 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 15:24:11
11971 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 15:27:47
11973 	/experiment4	directory 	0 	2014-04-17 15:30:31

These are the ONLY entries for "mime_type = directory"

This is one step up from the document root and TYPO3 should not care 
about that at all. It would require TYPO3 to chdir up out of its root to 
make sense.


This seems to be new behaviour.

Is that intended?

What does FAL want to use this path for?

Ist it normal for the exact same entity to be added multiple times to FAL?

Best regards,
