Re: Grrr Crons :x

i have that but it doesnt work, so maybe its something to do with my actual crons, in my crons folder there is a mysql.php, its exactly the same as my actual mysql.php.

is it meant to be?

Re: Grrr Crons :x

Are you sure the command prefix 'curl' is what your host uses? I had to put 'PHP' in front of mine to get my crons to work, check with your host thats the best bet ;)

Re: Grrr Crons :x

Thanks mate, what else could it be instead of curl?

[Matty]

Re: Grrr Crons :x

I couldnt say, I think its set by your host, you could try php, or nothing?

This is how mine are set up.

Re: Grrr Crons :x

It is curl.

Re: Grrr Crons :x

 

It is curl.

How do you know that? Unless your with the same host as him, or your his host you dont know that.

My prefix is PHP so it definetly isnt curl is it?

He also said hes tried it and it hasnt worked...

Re: Grrr Crons :x

Curl is the standard command to run a script.

Tryinserting an email address in the inout box at the top, it may be a script.

Re: Grrr Crons :x

Yes, but you cant be sure that its curl, there is a possibility his host uses something else.

Still death star's suggestion about the email would say a lot more, whether its the script or command prefix.

Re: Grrr Crons :x

kraig, do as i said.

You will see a input box that says:

Please enter an email address where the cron output will be sent:

Type your email address in there, wait a few minutes and you should get output of the crons behavior.

When you receive the email, please post it here.

Re: Grrr Crons :x

ok i will reply with the email

Re: Grrr Crons :x

You guys should look at what curl actually is...

 

Curl is the standard command to run a script.

No its not a THE standard for running a script, its actually a tool, you have to install it. Therefore if the host doesn't have that installed it wont work as deception said, however the host may have installed another 'open source' tool for transferring URL syntax-ed files which would probably use something other than curl considering curl is the actual name of the tool. Death star thats make your statement wrong.

 

lol it is curl it cant use nothing else all the games i have coded on uses curl so hey craig hit me up on msn [email protected] ill teach u how to work crons

From all those game you coded you know nothing? =/ Games don't use curl or anything its what your host uses, obviously your host uses curl though...

Perhaps cURL is the most common, but it isn't the only one.

EDIT - My host has told me you can actually edit the prefix from curl.
