Cron Job

[leequalls]

I am getting an error running a php file with cron job:

/home/leeq/www/control/admincron.php: line 1:?php: No such file or directory
/home/leeq/www/control/admincron.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `"../vars.php"'
/home/leeq/www/control/admincron.php: line 2: `include("../vars.php");'

Do you get the same error if you run the script from the command line?

If yes then cron job is not the problem here.

Moreover there can be other problems.

You can try:

lynx -dump http://example.com/file.php

or

/usr/bin/php -q /home/http/file.php

I can check how I do it on my page, but for that I need to change my computer (I don't know how to ssh on mac ;) )

Hope still this helps you. So you need to run this file, with IE or php, so to speak.

Michal

>> `include("../vars.php");'

The two single quotes at the two ends don't look the same. How is that appearing. I think you should look into something like that small which could be creating the problem.

'include("../vars.php");'
