Thread: CronTab problem: No input file specified.

Hey All,
Not sure if this is for the apache forum of php forum really...
I have setup crontabs before but getting an error saying "No input file specified." when the cron runs...

The script itself is fine so I don't think it is a php problem but more likely to be a issue with the way the cron is configured..

here is the command

Code:

/usr/local/bin/php -q /httpdocs/test/messaging/scripts/initiateMailShot.php

This is a different server so I don't know if it is configured differently but I think I have the path to php right etc...any suggestions on what to try? The tech support...are..slow to say the least!! Not my choice of server

Any advice appreciated.

thansk J, but I already found that via google didn't help my case

How about this one? php command line

Sorry I'm not of much help, but this is all new to me as well

I see you moved it to PHP
It is apparently an issue because I don't have permission to do it on the server...so out of my hands at the moment! Either they let me do it or we have to move servers!!

Thanks for your help on this one
