Cron job not working, some setting?

[eeekingeee]

my friend create an import.php file for importing my csv file, I create a cron job:

10 * * * * /usr/bin/php http://mywebsite.com/import.php

 

but it's never working.

 

I tried run the script with web browser like this : http://mywebsite.com/import.php,

then it can import all my products into the shop.

 

why the cron job not working?

 

do I need set the permission somewhere in the oscomerce directory?

10 * * * * /usr/bin/php http://mywebsite.com/import.php

 

Try using the absolute path to the PHP script in the crontab file, not your internet URL

Thanks, I tried, the same, not working.

do I need to change some setting on some file in the oscomerce?

Either you have the path wrong or your host doesn't allow CRON jobs.

I did tested a simple php cron job(sending a email from server), it's working perfectly, and it's in the same location with import.php, but import.php just not working.

 

Either you have the path wrong or your host doesn't allow CRON jobs.

I got this error message:

 

<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in <b>/homepages/55/d841766807/htdocs/all/catalog /Import.php</b> on line <b>32</b><br />

Well you can:

 

1. Fix it yourself.

 

2. Have your friend fix it.

 

3. Post the code so someone here can offer suggestions. We can't fix what we can't see...
