I know, i know.. not CRON JOBS AGAIN! :( Sorry but i needs your help...

[Guest ArtiMCFee]

I recently moved my coding to GoDaddy... added in my cron jobs via their cron manager where it produces the coding it needs blah blah...

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/cron_fivemins.php"

^that is what is produced... I get the emails saying:

Content-type: text/html

 

No errors showing up... but nothing happens in game. No will refill, no 'ticks'.. ;( Ive even tried replacing the crons with the 1min cron replacements in the forums and we get an error on the site:

\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit

5.41.21.2507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 include_once'cron_minute.php';\par include_once'cron_fivemins.php';\par

include_once'cron_hour.php';\par include_once'cron_day.php';\par ?>\par }

I dont pretend to know everything about coding (infact its limited) but I am learning each day.. but this freaking problem has me stumped..

Any of ya'll can help? I would be thankful

Arti the useless coder :P

Firstly, Welcome to MWG. :)

Using the php-cli will not work, you need to send the script a GET request through the URL.

Within your "config.php" file there is a line like: "$code = '9123921890123';"

That would be your code.

Next, you need to change the parameters of the cronjob, you are probably using cPanel so simply enter: "wget http://yourdomain.com/cron_fivemins.php?code=<YOURCODE>"

Just replace "<YOURCODE>" with the code you got from the config.php file.

That should be all, but if you have any further questions please ask.

Unfortunately, GoDaddy does not have cpanel (grrrrrrr I know) It would be so much simpler if it did.

I set up the five min cron and hour cron overnight and woke to 42 error free mails this morning... so I must be the coding like you said.

How do I go about making the change to the cron itself if I am not using cpanel, just GoDaddys own Cron Panel?

Also... THANK YOU for replying and trying to help... I think you saved me from pulling my last clump of hair out 8|
