Hello mihai,

Can you send me your FTP and CPanel details and I will try to set up a cron job for you. You could send the details via PM, and don't forget to include a description of a problem.

Hi, I tried to set up the cron like described at this page :
http://www.esyndicat.com/support/des...&kbarticleid=3

But I get an error telling me :

[ 26 Jul 2007 11:52:41 ]	WARNING	 mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO)  in site-directory/includes/classes/DirDb.php:41

I know it comes from :

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/config.inc.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/classes/DirDb.php');

$gDb =& new Database();
$gDb->mDbhost = $gDirConfig['dbhost'];
$gDb->mDbuser = $gDirConfig['dbuser'];
$gDb->mDbpwd = $gDirConfig['dbpwd'];
$gDb->mDbname = $gDirConfig['dbname'];
$gDb->mPrefix = $gDirConfig['prefix'];

Because gDirConfig refers to nothing.
Anyone fixed that?

Thanks

Hello electriduct,

It is wrong code. I think it is cron file for free 1.5. There is cron.php file in the includes folder.

Hi Sergey Ten,

Ok I see. That's right for the cron.php file in includes folder.
So my question is : How to I set up Cron to work for the pageranking ?

In the configuration panel for Cron , i set :

Cron for checking reciprocal listings	enabled 
Gets listing status (checking for broken listings)	enabled 
Cron for listings pagerank update	enabled 
Number of links to check in one run 10
Check interval (in days) 1

I guess that everything I can do .... Do I need to upload the checksum.cgi file, supplied in the package for cron (1.5 apparently) in my server ?

Or do I need to run the cron.php file on my server?

Finally the code in cron.php starts by :

$_path = realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/classes');

/** require necessary files **/
require_once('config.inc.php');
require_once($_path.'/DirDb.php');

$gDb = new Database();
$gDb->mConfig['dbhost'] = DBHOST;
$gDb->mConfig['dbname'] = DBNAME;
$gDb->mConfig['dbport'] = DBPORT;
$gDb->mConfig['dbuser'] = DBUSER;
$gDb->mConfig['dbpass'] = DBPASS;
$gDb->connect();

The same problem about the DBHOST, DBNAME .... from where does the file get these parameters?

Thanks for support. I appreciate it.

The DBHOST, DBNAME etc information is acquired from your config.inc.php file in the same directory as your cron.php
It is called from the config.inc.php by the line require_once('config.inc.php'); under the /** require necessary files **/

I hope this info enlightens you.

[edm718]

how often should the cron job run?

whatever duration i set it at... my website users who have a paid directory listing get a blank email that says "esyndicate mail notifier <>" every time cron runs. ? how do i stop this?

Hi edm718 - Welcome to the support forums.

What version of the script are you using?
