very strange.. I did everything crontab wanted, but it does not function :-(
crontab needs to start the file: crontab.php that’s all. when I execute the script through my webbrowser it works but crontab tells me: error :-( any expert in the room?

Are you trying to call the php script just like that? You should try using ‘wget http://blabla/crontab.php‘ or something like that in your crontab
My guess is you should change owner and/or group of the file. Owner is probably admin, group is probably httpd, but that all depends…
Where are you running it on?
If it’s on a cobalt machine I can help out.

It’s working. It was just the correct notation of the cronjob
I already new how to update once an hour but I needed a cronjob running ie. every 5 minutes.
And the */2 * * * * option did the job.
I’m happy and http://www.aroundmyroom.com/news is running smoothly now. COOL !
