Hello Exclamation, I took a look at your code an it appears that you're trying to trigger some PHP code from within a CGI-BIN script. You will not be able to do that in this shared server environment, primarily, because the execution of the script is typically labeled with a user name, but when running it from CGI-BIN, it may be trying to run incorrectly. You should be able to specify the script directly in CRON job. Check out this tutorial for further information on this issue: CRON job tutorial information If you have any further questions, please contact technical support or leave a comment at the bottom of the page. Regards, Arnel C. |
