But he's already been born :) #1 Can you copy/paste the exact command from "crontab -l" without the first 5 "when" fields into a shell and have it work? #2 cron doesn't run in your normal shell with all the $PATH stuff. Use a full and complete path from / for every program and every file in cron jobs. /usr/local/bin/php /home/pruim/cronjob.php Also change any code inside of cronjob.php to use a FULL PATH to anything. You can never go wrong specifying the full path, unless the path itself is wrong. You start making assumptions in your code about cwd and all hell breaks loose, sooner or later. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?

Re: [PHP] I'm prepared to feel like an idiot... But I just simply need the answer :)
Okay, Now I got it figured out, it was a problem with php cli not being able to find the mysql.sock file. I didn't realize that there are 2 php.ini files, one for the web and the other for the CLI... I'll look into what needs to be changed in the php.ini file... For right now I took Dan's advice and symlinked it to get it up and running. Thanks for the help! -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.

I *think* the mysql config file is named: my.cnf
so run a slocate or find on your system to see where it is and look at
the line:
socket =
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
You can also go into your php.ini file and check out the line:
mysql.default_socket =
and perhaps setting that to where it is located in your /tmp directory
will do the trick...

As a quick follow up...
the command:
$ php -i | grep mysql
will spit out info on how php thinks mysql is set up currently...
one of the items is:
MYSQL_SOCKET => ...
So just make sure that is in tune with where the socket really is running

The cheapest fix, if you have root access, is just to symlink it like so:
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
It'll at least get it running, but PHP should be set to look for
the MySQL socket in the right place via both the CLI and the Apache
module.

Jason, try creating a file like this, chmod'ing it to 0755, and running it with the full path as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dir]$ pwd /path/to/dir [EMAIL PROTECTED] dir]$ /path/to/dir/file Provided the file is named `file` and is in the same directory as the PHP script you want to run as a cron, it should run just fine with this code: #!/bin/bash phppath=`which php` # pwd can be changed to a hard-coded directory if # the PHP file isn't in the same directory as this script. # However, make sure not to use the tickmarks (below #the tilde (~), but instead use single quotes. pwd=`pwd` # Change phpfile.php to whatever the actual name of the PHP file is. $phppath $pwd/phpfile.php >> /dev/null 2>&1 If that doesn't work, post the code from your PHP file and we can all take a look. -- Daniel P.

Maybe you can show use some code?
@mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password') or die("Cannot
connect to DB!" . mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db('ticklers') or die("Cannot select DB!" . mysql_error
());
$sql="UPDATE tasks SET completed='0'";
mysql_query($sql);
also when looking at the code, I noticed that I didn't have the
opening and closing php tags ... Now I do and I'm getting an error :)
