Cron job turns.php

[Dracomiconia]

I'm having a problem with the cron jobs for this game on my server.

Its running the turns.php file and by looking at the email log I see no errors, but the turns in the game are not increasing.

lockdb variable is 0 in all servers, and I test manually turns.php.... but nothing occurs...

Is there something else I should check ?

Another thing:

I have this cron-job

GET [URL here] > /dev/null

And in the periods....

Every 5 minutes.

Aha! You can't use GET, it's a vulnerability, as it would allow you to execute turns.php from URL. You must form a cron like:

*/5 * * * * php -f /home/username/path/to/faf/turns.php
You may also want to use a full path for the php binary:
/usr/bin/php
or
/usr/local/bin/php

If you can run it manually, you should be able to see what the path to each of these is. Hints on a UNIX box:
1. php binary's path can be found with "which php".
2. Go to the faf script and type "pwd" to find your directory.

I am sorry if this was dumbed-down but many people don't know UNIX.

Thanks!

I'll take the lesson for other crons....

You're welcome!

If that fixed it, I'll close the topic.
