[alec.t]

I was wondering if you could help me out? im new to cron jobs but after reading other posts, i thought my cron script would work... sadly it does'nt

i keep getting the error..
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

for the following command
/usr/bin/wget -O - -q /home/myistop/public_html/advanced_dispatch.php
or
/usr/bin/wget -q /home/myistop/public_html/dispatch1.php

could you please advise me on how to get this problem fixed, thanks..

You should specify the URL of the file to be executed. Don't use the absolute path. wget is a browser. Use the following command

/usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://smartalec.x10hosting.com/advanced_dispatch.php

Use "php-cron /home/user/path/to/cron.php"
