Hi There,

Is anyone using auction2post on a site hosted thru Heart internet?

Am having probs setting up the cron task on their scheduled CP , wonder if anyone else had this and any fixes?

this is what they suggest to use:

/usr/bin/php5 -f/home/sites/websiteurlhere.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/auction2post/automate.php

but nowt works......

thanks in advance

Hi Fish, hoping I can assist, been using a2p for a while now on a number of sites.

First off I would recommend you rename automate.php to something more secure. Next step, your cron command should be similar to this...

wget -q http://_yourdomain_.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/auction2post/automate.php -O /dev/null

I am pretty sure you need to access automate.php using wget, lynx or curl (i.e. a browser fetch and not a php command) - I'm hoping to be chatting with radio later so I'll ask to confirm.

Hope this helps, you could also post on the a2p forum.

Hey paul,

Heart don't allow the recommended scripts wget & curl, they provided a workaround (bit of a joke since it doesn't work ...) hence my post here.

Am wondering if it's not a clash or could be sorted somewhere in htaccess ?

Be in touch re RT soon

Not a problem, you may want to check out Free cron jobs on demand just did a search and found it. Could be of use and there are no doubt more.
