admin password-protected - cron job?

[manute]

hi!

in the latest version we have a password-protected admin-directory and spider.php. definitely one useful thing but: my cron job won't work any more.
it says "/bin/sh: /is/htdocs/.../admin/spider.php: Permission denied" - is there anything i can do about that?

hey what's so strange about that topic, why don't i get an answer? doesn't anyone else here use crons?

I don't use a cron job myself, although it's on my "to do" list to setup. :)

Did you read this thread (http://www.phpdig.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=323)? That might offer some help.

Another option, and not a very good one, although I suppose it would work in a pinch, is to set the value of PHPDIG_ADM_AUTH to zero in the config.php file. Of course, that's going to let anyone into the admin panel.

This is really a "Charter" kind of question, if no one else is going to respond. He's been missing in action for a few days, I think (I hope) because he's working on the next build of phpdig.

hey pat!

the other thread unfortunately produced more questions than it answered, but i liked that PHPDIG_ADM_AUTH idea.

i definitely can't let anyone access the admin panel, but i put an htaccess in there and that seems to work now. thanks!
