First off, I better say I'm a novice to Linux and things like cron. I am able to make a manual backup in XCloner. I am now trying to set up the GoDaddy cron to run XCloner on a daily basis. I have tried the following (the 99/9999999 is to mask the real numbers):

 

/web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/content/99/9999999/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php?config=daily.php

 

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php?config=daily.php"

 

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php daily.php"

 

In all cases I have received this error message:

 

Status: 404 Not Found
Content-type: text/html

No input file specified.

 

The path is correct and the daily.php file does exist. Is this error message from php5 saying cloner.cron.php is not found or is it from cloner.cron.php saying the daily.php file is not found? Can anyone advise me as to the correct syntax?

 

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Try 

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php" daily.php

and see if it works!

Ovidiu,

 

Thank you for the quick reply. I have changed the cron statement as you suggested. I'll let you know how it works out. I have a feeling that it will work.
