Then the easy way around this is to search your server for zero length files,
The use of putty to log onto your server is good....
Putty can be downloaded from here.. http://www.putty.nl/
Then do a search for zero size files or simply use the find command to locate any empty files.
Find -empty

This will display any files that have no content.
Then spend a little time deleting them which should help the problem.
The ones you should be looking for are found within the directory called text_content which is where your phpdig software is installed.
Once this is done then please do a complete reset of your server by giving a reboot command when still using the putty software.
Then spend a few minutes running the optimise your database files and cleaning all the index files out.
This should help speed up the searches and in a heap of cases it will stop any results being displayed that have zero content.

Happy searching everyone!
