problem running cronjobs

[luke83]

hi there,
i'm trying to run this cron:

*/5

*

*

*

*

/usr/bin/php -f /home/luke83/public_html/index.php

where - of course - luke83 is my account username and index.php is a simply test page with chmod 755

what's wrong with this?

Have you tried using -q instead of -f ?

/usr/bin/php -q  /home/luke83/public_html/cron/cron_job.php >>/home/luke83/public_html/cron/cron_log.txt 2>&1

Is the format that I use and it works on Chopin.

Any output from cron_job.php or any error messages are logged into cron_log.txt, that way you can
1) see if the cron job is running
2) see any errors
