crontab

[phpprog]

Hi all
I am setting up crontab for a php file to run once every day.
I set up the command in the txt file cronjobs like this

crontab cronjobs

the content of the cronjobs is

0 0 * /path to file

but it still gives the error that the file could not be found, though the file there in the directory. An I doing something wrong.
Please help

Thanks

Have you compiled PHP as a command line interpreter, not just for Apache? If so does your PHP script that you are going to run have #!/path/to/php as the first line? And finally did you remember to make your file executeable (chmod +x myfile.php)?

These are all things that are needed to run a php script from a cron job, unless you want to run the script as a web page, and then you can just have your cronjob call lynx and have lynx call the correct page.
