What is wrong with it?

 

[budlightyear]

some odd reason it wont execute the script i give it.

 

[Corey]

How are you executing it? You're not giving much information to help =P

 

[budlightyear]

oh sorry ya iv got the /home html/cron.php thing going on but i think it will execute i just dont think i have the right coding down or something.It sends me emails and says it cant find these??


/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php: line 2: include: command not found
/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php: line 3: global: command not found
/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `'cron_fivemins.php','',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']'
/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php: line 4: `$path=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].str_replace('cron_fivemins.php','',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);'

So i have no clue what is wrong with it cause it reads some of the script you can see it.Oh im a little new at this forum thing so bare with me please and thanks.

Where is the cron.php file?

 

[budlightyear]

Its in the public_html files. Where should it be?

 

[Corey]

In your cPanel where you have the cron setup, what do you have on the cron line?

-Corey

 

[budlightyear]

/home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php I had that.In run command.

 

[Corey]

Change it to this:

php-cron -q /home/budlight/public_html/cron_fivemins.php

 

[budlightyear]

nothin with that one it doesnt even send me a email sayin it worked.

 

[Corey]

I just logged in your cPanel and do not see any crons setup. I added in the one above for you.

-Corey

 

[budlightyear]

i actually put it on and then deleted it cause my email was getting flooded with the cron jobs. But see the only thing is I know its not excueting my script i dont know if its good or not?

 

[Corey]

I'm not sure if anything is wrong with your script but I verified the cron is running correctly from our cron log.

-Corey

 

[budlightyear]

Oh well ya i dont know either cause my cron is to like heal and give energy and it hasnt done that at all so im not sure what is going on.

 

[Corey]

Try running it manually and see if it does what it's supposed to.

 

[budlightyear]

Manually? like just include onto a page?

 

[Fedlerner]

Yes, that's what he means, access it directly.
Going to yourwebsite.com/cron_fivemins.php should work.
