Hi,

I try to run a php file as cron job every 15 minutes.
I have tried:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/<myrealhomedir>/public_html/iaria/admin/cron.php

and

php -q /home/<myrealhomedir>/public_html/iaria/admin/cron.php

I get email notification stating: "No input file specified." I have no idea what that means. All file paths are correct. The file runs OK from the command line (tried on a different server as I don't have shell access on this one).

Any help is appreciated.

cheers,

That works, thanks!

The -q option is meant to execute the php within the directory of the php file. That way, relative paths work ok.
