Run maintenance job cron w/ centralized core
Permalink
I have a centralized core running several websites using a vhost.conf file for each domain - this all works great, the problem I'm running into is running my cron job for the maintenance tasks. I use wget, and it comes back with a 404 error.
I'm not familiar enough with cron to know how else I can run the update script so that it is able to actually find the centralized jobs script - any suggestions?

if you actually visit the url is it a 404?
Going straight to the page in a web browser works fine, that's what's confusing me.
are you doing this in cron?
Ya using cron, everything worked great until I switched to the central core, that's why I'm trying to figure out if there is something I can use other than wget in cron that can access the script.
and you are certain its getting a 404? (your logging to file?)
Cron wget http:// website.org/index.php/tools/ required/jobs?auth= b766c15a83020084fc51e617182414d5 website.org/index. php/tools/required/jobs?auth= b766c15a83020084fc51e617182414d5 Resolving website.org... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to website.org|127.0.0.1|:80... connected.

if you execute wget from the command line, no cron, does it work?
Same result:

Does your hosting company have wget disabled?
Found out mine does and that I had been banging my head on my desk for hours trying to get wget to work for nothing. I ended up using cURL and while I am not sure it will work with your host its worth a shot.

Blah, I'm half asleep but after reading your post again it looks like wget is not disabled but just not getting a connection. While it may not be disabled perhaps it is limited to local files only?
Think I better go to bed now... Best of luck though.. :)
