Error running cron

[StuartS]

I am getting the following error message after running a php script using a cron job from my VPS.


--07:05:01-- http://www.examsolutions.co.uk/tuition/expiring_ad.php

expiring_ad.php: Permission denied

Cannot write to `expiring_ad.php' (Permission denied).

Can anyone tell me what to do to stop this.

Many thanks in advance

Fix?

Hi, you probably just have to change the file permissions to 777 or rwxrwxrwx...

To do this, either go to the parent folder in SSH and do:

chown -hR [user]: psacln [folder]
chmod -R 755 [folder]

or if that fails

chown -hR [user]: psacln [folder]
chmod -R 777 [folder]

(remove the space after the : - it is there to prevent smiley)

or from Plesk file manager change permissions on the folder to allow read, write and execute to all...

I tried changing the folder and file permissions to 777 but unfortunately I still get the same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
