Hi. The problem is probably that cron wants to run the php file, but it's not exacutable. You can see this in the permission of files which code goes something like this rwx or read-write-execute. Although the file shouldn't be executable, because it isn't. You need to call your script in the cron through php, php4 or php5 command: */15 * * * * php /home/domain/public_html/cron/relay.php depending on which version you have on the server. And if you call a php file from the console you have to call it through the php command. regards mmlado
