Hi guys, I set up a cron job to execute a PHP script that writes a file and it isn't working. I can't tell if the cron job itself or the PHP script is failing.
If I type this on the command line it works fine:
php /usr/www/myname/mysite/jobs/main.php
...and here is my crontab entry (for testing):
* * * * * php /usr/www/myname/mysite/jobs/main.php
...which seems fine.
One thing I can think of is the path to the file in the PHP code. I gave it the full path like so:
fopen("/usr/www/myname/mysite/www/includes/banner.inc","w");
Since it's getting called in the crontab maybe I have to do something different? What about the permissions for the main.php file, does that need anything special? Like I said, it works on the command line so I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
Thanks.
