    Hi Δημητρη,

    I'm not sure about your .sh script. It should be php. In this case, the command should be:

    cd '/home/username/public_html/etc/'; php -q 'cron_backup.php' > /dev/null

        Hello,

        I tried setting up the cron jobs using the following command line:

        " home/azbirjx/public_html/purchase-credits.php "

        and

        cd '/ home/azbirjx/public_html/'; php -q 'purchase-credits.php' > /dev/null ;



        In both cases I received similar emails with the following error message:


        From: Cron Daemon [root@voda22.voda22.com]
        To: admin@auditionbase.com
        Subject: Cron <azbirjx@voda22> home/azbirjx/public_html/purchase-credits.php

        /bin/sh: home/azbirjx/public_html/purchase-credits.php: No such file or directory

        and

        From: Cron Daemon [root@voda22.voda22.com]
        To: admin@auditionbase.com
        Subject: Cron <azbirjx@voda22> cd '/ home/azbirjx/public_html/'; php -q 'purchase-credits.php' > /dev/null ;

        /bin/sh: line 0: cd: / home/azbirjx/public_html/: No such file or directory


        What is the problem and how can it be resolved???

        John

          Your command line is wrong: there is a blank space after / and before home so it resuts in the above error.

          Correct one: cd '/home/azbirjx/public_html/'; php -q 'purchase-credits.php' > /dev/null ;


          Pleeeeease! Dont make multiple posts on the same issue: you posted here, in the CronJobs tutorial, AND in my private messages section!!
