cron not working

by Ben Christopher - Wednesday, June 25, 2008, 10:49 PM

just tried to get cron working automatically through my host server by following instructions here.

it hasnt worked so via cpanel i get the below message

/usr/bin/crontab permissions are wrong. Please set to 4755

cant find this bin directory. is it talking about admin/cron.php? and the permissions...is 4755 actually 755? in permissions there's only 3 numbvers that can be changed..

help! thanks

ben

You probably do not have direct access to the bin directory, Only through cpanel. The permissions it is looking for is 755 On the crontab file so cpanel can write to it. This looks like a misconfiguration on the hosts part. I would put in a trouble ticket with the host.
