Abandoned Shopping Cart Email Reminder

Thx dr. Byte, but that didn't work. Called godaddy and they recommended getting rid of the php -f and going direct, this occurred, so, getting deeper...

'

What now? They recommended doing /web/cgi-bin/php5_3 as prefix

Does anyone know will this work with Ver 1.50?

Hi Trademagic,

I believe the problem is that you removed a bunch of spaces. You need to have a space after each * and after "cd". Try formatting it like this:

0 * * * * cd /home/content/69/11416569/html/; php cart_reminder_cron.php > /dev/null

Thanks Gonsman, but when I do that, I get this

/bin/sh: 0: command not found
/bin/sh: php: command not found

I have had it send the letter twice, but with way different code. Needing the right way to do it, and willing to try anything. Also, if someone could give me the correct format for changing the zen cart logo and replacing it with my logo, in the letter generated, it would be appreciated.

In GoDaddy, does it ask you for the day, month, hour and minute in a different field? If so, you may need to remove the first part of the cron job and only provide the command: cd /home/content/69/11416569/html/; php cart_reminder_cron.php > /dev/null

It also sounds like GoDaddy does not support the alias php so you need the full path the PHP executable. Something like cd /home/content/69/11416569/html/; /usr/bin/php cart_reminder_cron.php > /dev/null

It does ask for those items separately, so will try the codes and see which works.

1st one returned this

/bin/sh: pp: command not found

2nd returned this

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory

sending exact results so you can see what it takes and didn't take more clearly.

I appreciate every bit of your tracking this down. perhaps the next iteration...

According to GoDaddy, the PHP path is /web/cgi-bin/php5 (see http://support.godaddy.com/help/arti...-is-a-cron-job)

If this is the case, the command would be cd /home/content/69/11416569/html/; /web/cgi-bin/php5 cart_reminder_cron.php > /dev/null

neither of those worked and I sent a post which I tried to append to. Perhaps you saw it, I can repost the info.

First try was /bin/sh: php: command not found

second was /bin/sh: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory

I appreciate every bit of your tracking this down. perhaps the next iteration...

if I remove the cd from the front of the equation i get this

/bim/sh: /home/content/69/11416569/html: is a directory
/bin/sh: php: command not found
