Yeah, it's either a cron issue or a problem with your cron file.

You should first try running the cron file from your browser to make sure there are no errors.

Also in the command to run you will need to put...

lynx - dump http://your domain/folder of the cron file/your cron file.php

Example - lynx - dump http://midnightpimping.com/cron_jobs/turns.php

This works for me but your webhosting company may be able to explain in more detail if this does not work  ;)

"  page you are looking for cannot be found. Actually I didn't even look for it so I do not know if it's there or not...

  protect the ignorant, or is temporarily unavailable. or it was never there in the first place!!"

yer pug - got it bud.
ur code was apache. but i didnt have anything wrong with what i was doin - just host i was usin don't support crons.
2 choices i spoze - run em on another server, or on my own pc.
external sounds good to me. more chance of uptime.
don't really matter -
1. files can stay put
2. i learnt something new  ;)

thanx again zeg & pug.
anything i can do - just yell.

http://www.ej.am

You can get free hosting and a ej.am subdomain :)
You will need to make maybe 10 posts on the forum though. but from there on you don't need to do anything.

A lot of these free hosts that offer CPanel and everything along with it require some forum posting. A lot of free hosts advertise on this forum, so if you don't want to try EJ.am, then you can look through here:
