EliReid Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi I've been stuck trying to execute a script for a few weeks now and I really need help. The script is supposed to schedule social media posts via functions.php and wp-load.php but I get errors. Can someone do me a favour? Drop your email and I'll send you the details to connect to my database. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickOldCar Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If you show the errors someone can most likely help. Does it come down to owner permissions such as root or www-data? are you calling to a shell file then execute? directly calling to the php script? Most admin panels have the ability to easily create a new cron job You could research which panel you are using and find out how. I use webmin Go to system/Scheduled Cron Jobs Create a new scheduled cron job. select the user for permission insert a command something like this /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/my-php-script.php select when or how often would like it to run click Create Is other places to set crons as well such as in etc/cron.d etc/cron.daily etc/cron.hourly etc/cron.monthly etc/cron.weekly Since I use ubuntu will link you to here which is similar to other linux versions and cron commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
