Cron job - "Could not open input file"

[Sublime74]

I am trying to run a php cron job from cPanel on my web host. The command line I'm using is :

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/skat_2347/public_html/gdoucette.ca/cron.php

The script runs fine when I run it in a browser, but when the cron job runs I get "Could not open input file"

Any suggestions?

Yes, you really should look into this more before setting it up. Something like this should work I think:

 php -q /home/skat_2347/public_html/gdoucette.ca/cron.php /home/skat_2347/public_html/gdoucette.ca/

Thanks, but that didn't work either. That produced the error "input file not specified"

Are you sure you left a space after the file name /cron.php before the /home/ ?

Try this:

 php -q -f /home/skat_2347/public_html/gdoucette.ca/cron.php /home/skat_2347/public_html/gdoucette.ca/
