Jay said: I know that you have searched Google for cPanel cron jobs and that lot's of folks here have tried to help. Where are you on this and can we help? You guys have been Great! At the moment, I sent a trouble ticket to my host -- I'll see what he says, if anything. Please don't think my host is remise in not responding -- it's just that he's not making any money off me for I paid less $7 for the entire year of hosting. So, I can't expect him to spend a lot of time with me. Likewise, what leverage do I have? Am I going to say "Look, fix this or I'll take my seven bucks elsewhere?" I would like to get better hosting, but simply can't afford it. I won't go into the reasons why, but let's just say conditions are difficult for me. However, with all of your help, I'm learning and doing pretty well, all things considered. So, I'll let the tread die for now until my host responds. If I solve it, then I'll post the solution. If he doesn't respond, then I'll start the thread up again. At least I know a lot more about this now.

Re: [PHP] where php at?
I believe the command portion of your chron entry is "/usr/local/bin/php /full/path/to/myscript.php" (separated by a space) My Cpanel allows two methods scheduling (updating cron.tab file), if you are using the unix option, you have the ability to schedule the execution at a certain time of day, etc. Soneone else on this thread gave you a pretty good description of how that works, and there are other tutorials out there that will help. I prefer the unix option from my cpanel. make sure that the full path name is provided to your script, usually this will point to home/user or something like that. Also your script will need to use full path names to files, you can use the "pwd" command (as we did with which) to find out what the current directory is for your script, but it is safest to use nothing but full directory names, because it is almost guaranteed to not be what you would expect, so relative path names will give you problems. hope this helps, Warren Vail At 11:59 AM 3/27/2006, tedd wrote: try creating a file called "which.php" have it contain the following; Upload it to your website and execute it in your browser.

Re: [PHP] where php at?
I know nothing of cpanel, but if you can use cpanel to execute your script, can you not use cpanel to say 'which php'?? HTH... Dusty Dusty: Nope, it doesn't appear to work that way. Everything I've read thus far is that you must somehow enter the exact command you would via a command line -- very similar to how you reset your MySQL db by injecting text directly into phpMySQLAdmin. It should look something like: /usr/local/lib/php -q -f /home/tedd/www/email_me.php But, like a monkey typing all possible combinations, I've been unsuccessful in typing the right combination.

RE: [PHP] where php at?
[snip] Aarrrg -- no disrespect meant. I'm totally and absolutely clueless and frustrated. It must be my age because I haven't seen a command line since my Apple][ days -- let alone one while doing web work. I'm sitting in front of my computer accessing my remote web site via ftp (GoLive) writing code and trying to set up a cron job using cpanel to run that code. Now, I have no idea of where I should type in "which php" -- I've tried putting it in my cpanel cron jobs "command to run" box, but that doesn't do anything. Does anyone have any reference material of where a "command line of the host" is? [/snip] Dagnabit!

John Meyer said: If you're on a linux box, have you tried "which php"? Where do I type in "which php"? I'm dealing with a host account and I'm simply trying to find out where php is so I can set up a cron job.

Re: [PHP] where php at?
Looks like you have a unix machine, if you have a shell account you may be able to use the command; which php to identify it's path. hope this helps, Warren Vail At 10:45 AM 3/27/2006, tedd wrote: Hi: Related to my cron problem -- where do you get the path to php?
