cron jobs are not working

[RedQueen]

i have tried everything and still they are not working

although i can run them all manually without any errors

i was told to try time stamps but i get an error when trying to install them

the sql and that go fine but when i try the site i have errors on the cron file.php file n i looked at the erros tis is what it says

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function configure() on a non-object in /home/redqueen/public_html/crons_file.php on line 5

 

which says this on that line

 

$db->configure($_CONFIG['hostname'], $_CONFIG['username'], $_CONFIG['password'], $_CONFIG['database']);

 

any help would be appreciated

thank you

It looks like you are having trouble with including the file that stores your database config information. When you access the file via a web browser, the config file is included as you intended. When you access the file as a cronjob, relative paths don't work very well. Cron will try and include the config file using the paths stored in the user's $PATH system variable.

Simple fix:

Copy the $_CONFIG declarations from your database config file into the file being called by the cronjob and you should be set.

lmbo ok well i am a total noobie to all of this would you mind terribly explaining tat a little more simpler for me

i know it sounds simple but i have no idea what you are talking about except the config.php file that has the db info in it lol

i do not understand what the config declarations would be sorry i am totally new

i appreciate any and all help

thank you
