Boo-urns Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi, I have been searching tutorials and posts about how to do cron jobs, i know how to sorta set it up in cpanel however how would i tell it to execute the php file? When i get the e-mail it says: "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied " i do have the permissions at 755 any idea what is wrong? Thanks Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Here is an example of what it should look like: php /home/username/public_html/folder/script.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 And here is another. /usr/bin/php /home/username/public_html/folder/script.php You should always use full paths in cron as it has only a limited environment and quite often will not have a $PATH variable defined (cant find programs).

Boo-urns Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 hmmm well now i'm getting this: Status: 404 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6 Content-type: text/html No input file specified. The file is uploaded and everything, the php file is just going to go through the member db table and check to see that their account has not expired yet.

Boo-urns Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've tried it both ways from thorpe and pocobueno1388 and i get the same error Status: 404 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6 Content-type: text/html No input file specified. I also tried it through the browser and it worked properly. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
