Unable to create the content file and crontab not working and ixwebhosting

Hi

I just switched hosts in another attempt to get phpdig to work, last host operated in safe mode and no crontab support, so i'm now trying IXWebhosting.com, here's their main specs:

IXWebhosting.com
Linux version 2.4.22, (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
php4

I have 2 problems at the moment:

1] 'Warning : Unable to create the content file ../text_content/4.txt ! '

I can manually enter a site for spidering through admin/index.php but I get partial success. I receive 'Warning : Unable to create the content file ../text_content/4.txt ! ' as part of the result. My 'text_content' folder has the correct permissions and every site gives the same error message (with differnt txt file number).

I say its partial success as i can still search for the site successfully aferwards, would like to know why this shows up though in case it causes other problems, like with my next question regarding CRONTAB

2] Spider works ok manually but not through CRONTAB method. Any suggestions for troubleshooting methods here? Here's the nitty gritty:

Searched other threads and found this command to use:
/usr/bin/php -f /path/to/admin/spider.php cronlist2.txt >> spider.log .

In which cronlist2.txt contains a list of full url's, one per line, ie like http://www.phpdig.net

All it does is spit out a blank spider.log file . When I manually enter the sites (through admin/index.php) they work as above.

Thanks in advance,

Paul L
