Okay, well I woke up this morning and got an email saying it auto added interest. Cant tell you how much it pisses me off, as I have no clue what was wrong with it. But at least it works now. Thanks everyone for the help!

I've been following your progress as I also use Dreamhost and, if you look at my earlier reply I gave you the way I got it to do what I needed.

 I too wasted far too much time trying to sort out other methods and eventually decided to use the easy way out and not be too bothered about it.

Hmm..but you got it to work right? Mind if I send you screenshots of what I've got so far?

Okay...I am really fed up with this. I'm pretty sure I've tried everything mentioned. If someone wants to be so kind and offer help, I can set up a FTP account, and whatever else to try and get this darn thing working.

Instead of just "php", try /usr/bin/php and /usr/local/bin/php:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/php /home/***/www/forums/sources/shop/dointerest.php


Hmm..I tried that. I'm going to try feeble's suggestion now. I cant believe I missed that page of the wiki

Installation Problems / [SOLVED] Cron job probs

« on: May 23, 2007, 07:38:13 am »

Okay, I set up a cron job with the dointerest.php file. I dont have cpanel, but it should work, shouldnt it?

My interest doesnt run, and I'm getting this error in my email daily:

Code: [Select]

sh: line 1: php: command not found

Cron Job:

Code: [Select]

php /home/***/www/forums/sources/shop/dointerest.php
dointerest.php:

Code: [Select]

}

I'd be more than willing to provide whatever files necessary to get this working.

I contacted DreamHost. They told me something about not being able to run PHP scripts in that manner...or something.

Here's the script they gave me to try:

Code: [Select]

lynx -dump http://zephyrgaming.com/forums/Sources/shop/dointerest.php
