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?

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 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50430-solved-newbie-at-cron/#findComment-247729 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.
