# Empty folder added automatically

 * One of my blogs is located at [http://www.joelwnelson.com/blog/](http://www.joelwnelson.com/blog/),
   which is a virtual directory “generated” by WordPress’ permalink/pages feature.
   Every couple weeks, though, an actual directory called “blog” gets created automatically,
   usually overnight, which then results in the blog being replaced with this:
 *     ```
       Index of /blog
   
       Parent Directory
       Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.joelwnelson.com Port 80
       ```
   
 * I’ve gone through my cron jobs on the server and there is nothing obvious that
   would be causing this /blog/ directory to be generated. Is there a WordPress 
   issue causing a directory to be written?
