Problem with php cronjob 1

[farley99]

My crontab reads as follows....
* * * * * /home/farley/question.php

But when I runs I get the error....
/bin/sh: /home/farley/question.php: Permission denied

Any tips on this?

Thanks in advance.

'Permission denied' on /home/farley/question.php?
Sounds like 'tip' to me! [grin]

Check permission and adjust accordingly - make your script executable:

ls -l /home/farley/question.php

man chmod

vlad

| #include<disclaimer.h> |

Thanks, it gives me these errors now though....
/home/farley/question.php: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/farley/question.php: =chris@farley.com: command not found
/home/farley/question.php: =chris@farley.com: command not found
/home/farley/question.php: =question: command not found
/home/farley/question.php: =Hi Farley: command not found
/home/farley/question.php: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `mail($to,$subject,$body,&quot;From:$from&quot'
/home/farley/question.php: line 7: `mail($to,$subject,$body,&quot;From:$from&quot;'

My code is as follows...
<?php

$to=&quot;chris@farley.com&quot;;
$from=&quot;chris@farley.com&quot;;
$subject=&quot;question&quot;;
$body=&quot;Hi Farley&quot;;
mail($to,$subject,$body,&quot;From:$from&quot;

?>

(It runs fine when i do: php question.php )

You need to add
#!/usr/bin/php -q
to the top of your script.

Hope this helps.
