Found the problem.
(Thanks Grant for trying to help)
The bakery article seems to have been modified at some point to
provide a measure of security to prevent the cron from being executed
from the web browser.
I think, originally perhaps, the cron_dispatcher.php may have been
supposed to sit in app/webroot, and only later was the article edited
to instruct people to put the cron in app/ for security (not sure of
this, just guessing, as it seems to explain the problem I was having.
Either that, or the developer's file layout was different than mine)
Anyways, the bakery article says to put the cron_dispatcher.php into
the app/ directory.
Notice - this is one level up in the directory heirarchy from app/
webroot. So, many of the constants defined in the cron_dispatcher are
now off by one level. The result is cake cannot find the app
directory.
Someone posted a redfined APP constant on the bakery article, but it
didn't work for me, because other constants needed to be changed also.
For those interested, here is my full - and working - cron dispatcher,
with the changed constants. This assumes the cron_dispatcher sits in
public_html/app/webroot, with public_html being the server's document
root (note this is a development setup, not a cake production setup)
(boy it sure feels good to be able to pay back once in a while -- :)
