I have an excellent hosting company I go through. They have been able to answer every question I have ever had except when asking what the path was to php. I was told I wouldn't need to know it. After trial and error I finally found the path to be /usr/local/bin/php .
For my next hair pulling experience I was having trouble with $relative_script_path being correct in config.php and spider.php
I fixed that problem and most likely not the right way by replacing the $&$^* (excuse my language) $relative_script_path variable with a real path.
Sure wish I knew why it didn't like the '..' that was being set for $relative_script_path.
....Anyways it now works like a charm. If my host could have told me the path to php in the beginning it might not have taken as long. Since this is my 1st experience with cron jobs I assumed they knew what they were talking about.
My final cron line ended up as the follwing...
/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/user/www/web/admin/spider.php /home/user/www/web/admin/cronlist.txt
it would not allow me to simply use cronlist.txt without a path
Hope this helps anyone who had to go through what I did.
I do very much appreciate your reply. You have one very great script you have written. Keep up the great work.
