Hello,

You should replace user_name with your username and mysite.com with your domain name. If you have already done this, probably the problem will be in your script.

sorry for the confusion, user_name already has my actual user name and mysite.com already has my domain name it..
now i have changed it to absolute link to file > http://domain_name.com/cron.php but still doesnt work..

If i open the URL directly in a new window, the php file executes fine.. any suggestions???

Guys, I figured it out

I need to specify absolute URL of the file along with WGET, (wget http://mydomainname_here.com/cron.php) in the cronjob command text box without the brackets and it works..


thanks.
