Dear Phill and Billy,
Thanks a lot for the help.. but i never have any experience with UNIX. I
just learnt cron just to get my PHP code run at a scheduled time. So
basically i have no idea the specific detail about the cron command.
Attach
I have another webhost at HostGator, and for the cron, i simply use:
**/1 * * * ** *php /home/apple/public_html/call/welcome.php*
and it works perfectly as i expected.
Notes: username = apple
url address = www.gol168.com/call/welcome.php
But i want to move my hosting to the new one GoDaddy. I have attached the
cron requirement for Godaddy webhosting and I have tried using:
*php /home/apple/public_html/download/call/welcome.php
/usr/local/bin/php /home/**apple**/public_html/download/call/welcome.php
/web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/**apple**/public_html/download/call/welcome.php
/web/cgi-bin/php /home/**apple**/public_html/download/call/welcome.php
/web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/**apple**/html/download/call/welcome.php
/web/cgi-bin/php /home/**apple**/html/download/call/welcome.php*
But none of them seems to be working.
Notes: username = apple
url address = www.t2gm.net/download/call/welcome.php
