CRON Blues.

I'm trying to use cron to run a php script. But, I'm getting a Permission denied error. Anyone know how to fix this?

List the code you are trying to use to open the php page. There are some things disabled on Shared servers, so it might help to know the method you are using to see if that is the reason why.

Can't the code is proprietary. Also, I fixed it, and now have a new issue on my hands ...
Seems you need to make the file 777 to cron that file. Odd consdering PHPsuexec's wanting of 644.

So it's 644 and it works now, or it still does not work?

If root is running the cron, you might have to have that file 777 or at least 755 if it is a file type that is not included in the ExecCGI directive (makes a file executable, ie. 644 = 755).

If it is in a directory that needs other files to run by user, you also might have to move it to a directory of it's own, so user can run it's own files.

Yea, this file is never ment to be run by a client. Just from cron.
Also, yes I have it set to 777 now, and that's how it started working.
It would not work with 644, and that needs to be fixed.

Have you tried setting it to 755 as cowboy suggested? Glad it's working now though.

Dygear · October 14th, 2006, 10:10 PM

Ya know it started working, as in giving me output. But that output is an error. It would seem that it's attempting to run it as a shell script. Is there a way that I can tell it to run as a php script?

Ello Ello, quick google and I found this page:

http://www.htmlcenter.com/tutorials/...s.cfm/155/PHP/

I checked my shared server phpinfo and it said CGI, so do a quick test on your account and if your lucky, then the CGI suggestion will do what your after.

If it says "apache" your probably going to be stuck.
