I have installed drupal and it works wonderfuly.... However now I am trying to setup a cron for cron.php and it is being a little difficult. I have talked with media temples support team and the have determined that I have to do something on my end... But I have no idea what.
I ran the cron from the root and I would get a permission error... I changed the permissions to 755 on cron.php and now i get an e-mail that says this.
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 2: //: is a directory
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 4: /aquota.group: Permission denied
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 5: psa: command not found
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php: line 6: ` * Handles incoming requests to fire off regularly-scheduled tasks (cron jobs).'
I am trying to setup a cron job using media temples plesk interface and I would like it to run from my user account instead of the root user account... Any one have any idea's.
Thanks,
Jp

You are trying to cron.php
You are trying to cron.php using shell interpreter whereas you should use php interpreter. Try using 'php /var/www/vhosts/johnpicozzi.com/httpdocs/cron.php' command or try adding the php interpreter line in the begining of cron.php file like they do at http://blog.digitalstruct.com/2007/04/24/tips-and-tricks-php-shell-scripts/.
Ok.... Is This Normal
Ok... So it looks like it worked but i got this e-mail... is this normal?
