Cronjob: permission denied
Hello everybody,
I will be very thankfull for any help to solve this problem.
My project installed in subfolder and url is mysite.mydomain.com.
Can't setup crontab for this project, error: " /bin/sh: /usr/bin/GET: Permission denied ".
But it is working fine for root directory installation.
Any clue?.

Thanks in advance.

What does the troublesome crontab entry look like? Or are you saying you can't edit your crontab?

0 0 * * * GET http://www.mysite.mydomain.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null

0 0 * * * GET http://www.mydomain.com/mysite/cronjob.php > /dev/null

it can be that the crontab setup is not enables for ur username. tell the root to make a cron for you. and then u can easily make crons.

go to /var/adm/cron directory.
cat the contents of cron.allow and check if user name u are using is there or not.
if not add the username .

Check that:
- Your user is "cron-enabled".
- You edit your user's crontab using "crontab -e"
- "GET" seems to be an executable file (binary or script), so check that it has execution enabled for your cron user.
Regards.

Based on the error message: error: " /bin/sh: /usr/bin/GET: Permission denied ".

Crontab interprete GET as a unix command and run a which on GET. However, GET does not exist, I believe on any setted PATH or /usr/bin.

Solution: If GET is executable script.. Hard coded the path to GET in your crontab.
