Cron.php error in servers error_log file

[darr3n]

[Tue Oct 19 13:51:29 2010] [error] [client 78.xx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /web/guide/mysite/public_html/cron.php, referer: http://www.mysite.com/classifieds/


I'm seeing this error quite a lot in the server side error_log, surely this can't be right? Probably a setting I missed!

Would appreciate some help! thanks

well you sure we are talking our cron file not vb?

Your cron.php path would be in the classifieds directory.

I assume so as it includes the classifieds directory which has nothing to do with vb and there certainly isn't any mention of cron.php errors relating to any other directory?!

Noticed that "URL to PhotoPost Classifieds PHP directory" option didn't have a / after so I've added that. Perhaps that will fix it.

I am simply referring to this path statement

Content visible to verified customers only.

Our link to require our cron.php script has a full server path to cron.php attached with it

Content visible to verified customers only.

Therefore the require statement as shown in our code should correctly be identified as

Content visible to verified customers only.

I would suspect the most likely suspect this has to do with vbulletin and in the source of your page the vb cron.php file having as relative url link to it so it can not be found but thats just a guess without knowing more.

Hi Chuck, thanks for that and yes that does make sense but what doesn't make sense is the is no other mention of cron related problems in the error log relating to any other vbulletin or vbulletin urls/dirs

I've had this today also:

[Wed Oct 20 13:03:34 2010] [error] [client 84.124.xx.xxx] File does not exist: /web/guide/mysite/public_html/cron.php, referer: http://www.mysite.com/classifieds/
[Wed Oct 20 13:05:23 2010] [error] [client 84.124.xx.xxx] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function ppmysql_query() in /web/guide/mysite/public_html/classifieds/cron.php on line 29, referer: http://www.mysite.com/classifieds/sh...e&cat=2&page=2

Is there a way of finding out what is causing this as it's filling up my error log quite nicely

I do not see a site link to see your site so all I can do is suggest this.

View your page source when viewing classifieds do you see any relative link to a cron.php in the footer source? Is this vb code by chance this is what I have been saying. If thats the case any reference in your vb footer for cron.php has to be a full url to that file.
