need help with cron job

hi,

I did a fresh install and this is the error i am getting in /periodic/error_log

[18-Aug-2009 04:04:01] PHP Warning:  require_once(/home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/periodic/../inc/header.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/periodic/cron.php on line 23

Cron job is: cd /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

I also tried : cd /home/hdavy200/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/periodic; /usr/bin/php -q cron.php

I have all the latest files from the trunk_

Thanks all

That's an odd error...seems like the path that is specified /home/mary etc... is valid because you are able to run cron.php.  I would check the ownership and permissions for the inc folder.  especially the header.inc.php file.

if you have shell access paste the output of the following command here:

# ls -al /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/inc

That should give you a directory listing that will show the ownership and permissions of the files in the inc directory.

Did a fresh install and here is the output.

ls -al /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/inc
total 244

What hosting do you use? If godaddy or similar, use the browse option to find your file from cron setup area.

see http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/what-is-the-correct-permission-for-d7.htm

That looks fine, but I might have put it in a different post, but make sure that the inc directory itself has 777 perms.

so from /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in

do an

# ls -al

and see what the permissions are on the inc folder.

or just

# chmod 777 /home/mary/public_html/stgeorgescollege.in/inc

make sure that the permissions on the files INSIDE the ic directory remain the way they are.

Try that and let me know whether the cron job runs.
