Help with cron jobs

[kbeaty]

I need help setting up my crons for Pro version 2.1.03. I followed all instruction and all went fine untill the last stop, where I have to set it up to my control panel. The full path to my php {path_to_php} is /usr/bin/php. After running the cron all crons e-mail reports saiys:

"Status: 404
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.6
Content-type: text/html
No input file specified."

Is anyone knows what i am doing wrong? Help appreciated.

Hi kbeaty,
Did you read this article about CRON V2.1.03
http://www.esyndicat.com/support/des...se/view/7.html

your CRON command should be
/usr/bin/php -f /path/to/cron.php
Please pay attention in reading CRON article.

Yess I did read the help files, and I contacted my host to clarify the matter, the response they gave me were /usr/bin/php -q intead of /usr/bin/php -f, but still got the same error. the complete path I put in the crons setting is:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/mylinkre/public_html/cron.php. And when I replace the q by the f I still get the same " No input file specified." error.

Please try

/usr/bin/php -q /home/mylinkre/public_html/includes/cron.php

Here is what I got through e-mail report after your suggestion:

<br />

Hi there,
In compliance with Sergey's Ten directives I've implemented script.
Please download attached zipped package, unzip and upload 'show_root.php' to your eSyndiCat directory and execute it via browser.
For example http://my.domain/esyndicat/show_root.php
Follow on screen directives.

to kbeaty: I've set your CRON up.

HTH

Seem to be working now after downloading the above zip file

I just set up a cron to run every hour to see if i get any error messages. I hope it works!

OK, i followed the above using the zip file as I was also getting teh same error. When I ran the show_root file i looked at the instruction.
WHich was this:
Please follow directives:
Open '../includes/config.inc.php'
Find code similar this

define("ROOT", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
Change it with following code

define("ROOT", '/home/linksdud/public_html');
If your code similar this one

define("ROOT", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS);
Change it with following code

define("ROOT", '/home/linksdud/public_html'.DS);


However I ALREADY have the following code in place:
define("ROOT", '/home/linksdud/public_html'.DS);



What else could be the problem please?
Thanks.


Error I get is this:

The show_root.php changes worked for me. Thanks
