Yesideez Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've done a phpinfo() to get the full server path and have set up a cron job to execute every minute of every hour to send me an email.Its been running for about 20 minutes so far and nothign has come through - this is what I've entered as the command line:[code]/usr/bin/php /home/randgigs/public_html/relocate.php > /dev/null 2>&1[/code]Any idea what is wrong? I know the script works as I typed it into IE and the email came through straight away!

hitman6003 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Try executing your cron line from the command line, manually, but without directing output to /dev/null so you can see any errors.

Yesideez Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 I don't know what you mean by the commend line as I'm using cPanel.Ive removed the redirection and will see what happens next...

Yesideez Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 woohoo my first email - I'm using the incorrect syntax by the looks of it. I'll keep editing the line and see what happens.

Yesideez Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm using this:[code]/usr/bin/php /home/randgigs/public_html/relocate.php[/code]and I get this in an email:[code]Status: 404X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.1Content-type: text/htmlNo input file specified.[/code]How can it say that when I've specified it? I don't understand :SI also tried adding -f before the filename and still the same message :S Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18047-cron-jobs/#findComment-77429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just been reading this page:http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/28/0.phpI don't have anywhere to enter any information as I'm using cPanel so I can't really follow this tutorial - I'm extremely confused with this. Its telling me there's no file yet I know its there. I can run it via the browser and I get the email I'm expecting. The documentation for cPanel tells me nothing I don't know already and I've tried everything I can think of even specifying a direct link to the file instead of the full server path (which was obtained via phpinfo();) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18047-cron-jobs/#findComment-77446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 Found the problem - by checking FTP access via cPanel I can see that the server is actually trying to access a different area of the server, sort of like another account.It should be /home/randgigs/public_html/ when its actually looking in /home/losthost/public_html/I've contacted the web provider for an explanation and have requested they sort out the problem.
