While I can attest to the fact that the CRON Job is running, based on what the script is doing, darned if I can see what you did to change the way I had it specified. It would help in the future if I understood. Regards, Russell Cox

How do get the CRON job to email me optionally to report success? Regards, Russell Cox

My programmers are trying to get a CRON job to run. I have executed the CRON job by addressing it directly @ http://serverXXXX/~xxxxx/cron.php or http://www.XXXXXXXXX/cron.php It is currently producing some kind of a script error as you will see if you execute it. The error notwithstanding, they have asked me to seek assistance on how to get it to run periodically. They have access to my account and cpanel. I can set the timer for every minute (for testing) and they use the following url in setting up the job: php /home/XXXXXXXXXXXX/public_html/xxxxxx/cron.php I don't have much experience at this, but I would have used the following: http://serverXXXXXX/~xxxxxxx/cron.php But, neither url seems to work. I set the email address to my account, but I receive nothing, thus I'm unable to determine if it is working. It is supposed to perform some action on my web site (under development). But since we're debugging a script, I can't tell if it performs the desired action, except for the obvious error it shows if you execute it manually. Any thoughts before I create a Helpdesk Ticket? Regards, Russell Cox

Now I'm confused... Here are the entries I see that seem to relate: ----------------------- PDO PDO support enabled PDO drivers sqlite2, sqlite pdo_sqlite PDO Driver for SQLite 3.x enabled PECL Module version (bundled) 1.0.1 $Id: pdo_sqlite.c,v 1.10.2.6.2.2 2007/03/23 14:30:00 wez Exp $ SQLite Library 3.3.17 ------------------------- What do I need to see to be assured that PDO_mySQL is enabled?

I am not yet a client... but you helped me with advice a couple of years ago and I kept a record of your url. Now I'm looking for a hosting company. My programmer says I need to have PDO_MySQL enabled. Will this be possible with your servers? If so, I'll be a client as fast as I can sign up. Regards, Russell Cox

---------------------------- I have since found out that TCH is not my host provider. A thousand pardons! However, you have done yourself proud in attempting to provide support for my issue. These days where I find myself talking to someone in Sri Lanka with barely passable language skills you guys are a breath of fresh air. I will not forget TCH when I find myself looking for a new hosting company! Regards, Russell Cox

-------------------------------------- Maybe I should step back and start from square one... My Host is "CareFreeHosting" - Lance Prevost He used to call it Equine Hosting, prior to upgrading his server. He leases a server from you (so I'm told) and I host my domains with him. I have several domains on his (your) server. The principal ones are: www.neighborhoodclassified.com www.neighborhoodauction.com www.neighborhoodsoulmate.com www.neighborhoodjobsearch.com I requested his support to resolve why my CRON jobs are not running following a change in server platforms. He suggested I get in touch with you for this support. Now, please let me know if I'm in the right place to be asking these questions! If so... Each of my domains have their own respective CRON jobs, each located under a folder within the application files uploaded for the particular site in question. Thus it is necessary to distinguish where the particular CRON file to be executed is located. If necessary, I can provide ftp credentials for you to look for yourself to see these files... Please let me know. Regards, Russell Cox

------------------------- Thanks for your response Bruce. Since I have multiple domains, perhaps you can clarify for me... Where to I specify the domain name? Is it like so... /usr/bin/php -q /home/neighborhoodjobsearch.com/public_html/cron/cron.php ...or... /usr/bin/php -q /home/russellm/neighborhoodjobsearch.com/public_html/cron/cron.php ...or... /usr/bin/php -q /home/russellm/public_html/neighborhoodjobsearch.com/cron/cron.php The actual web address of the cron.php is as follows: http://www.neighborhoodjobsearch.com/cron/cron.php Regards, Russell Cox

I am using the following CRON Job Syntax: /usr/bin/php -f /hsphere/local/home/russellm/neighborhoodjobsearch.com/cron/cron.php > /dev/null and I'm getting the following error: /bin/sh: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?
