I'm looking for information about core dumps

Hi, I am not a customer of Inmotionhositing, but I found this page https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/what-is/what-are-core-dumps which gives some information about core dumps. In my case, Joomla generates those, so there must be some kind of issue. Unfortunatly, from the info on your page I cannot find out how, from the large amound of data in the core.xxxx file, I can identify which process or Joomla extension is causing Joomla to crash.
Could you give me some kind of advice on this?

Kind regards, Frits

Hello Frits, Sorry for the issue with the core dumps. As per the article core dumps are files that the system creates when it is unable to finish a process in memory. Some of these files can be quite large. We do not provide the process of troubleshooting your Joomla installation (as they vary), in order to find the cause of these files. You will need to review your code or consult with a developer in order to determine the cause of the dump. I would also check Joomla support communities and submit your installation questions there in order to help to help pinpoint the cause of the issue. Here's an example of a community forum discussing the issue. If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know. Regards, Arnel C.
