Cron Jobs

Napster

So I am trying to set up a cronjob and I can not figure out what do I put for the, "Command to run". I put in: "http://www.elarune.net/cronjob.php" and "/home/josh/public_html/cronjob.php" but neither seem to work. What do I put for that form?

Well, server path is what you use, /home/josh/public_html/cronjob.php should work. How about the rest of the commands, are they correct?

Have a look at this cron tutorial

In my cpanel I am using the cron job tool there where I just select all the information from the drop down menus.

If you're using cPanel, click Cron Jobs->Avanced Style

Enter your timing parameters, then your path should look like this:

/usr/local/bin/php /home/user/public_html/script.php

Please be advised that there IS a space between the path to PHP and the path to your script.

Whenever my cron job runs I get this message in an email:

/bin/sh: line 1: /home/josh/public_html/cronjob.php: Permission denied

Make sure your script's permissions are set to 755.

If it is, make sure that you have the right path to PHP.

If you do, contact your host to make sure you can run Cron Jobs.

If you can, I dunno...

well I just gave it permission to execute so that should work. Now to test it.
