Require() Fatal error. Help!

    Hey guys,

    I was running a cron job when I receive an email from cron daemon that says this:

    <br /><b>Fatal error</b>: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/valandil/public_html/emailmarketer/admin/functions/api/send.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/home/valandil/public_html/emailmarketer/admin/functions/api/jobs_send.php</b> on line <b>15</b><br />

    Anyone know what's wrong? The cron is for sending emails. I'm still trying it out so I only send it to me. One person.

    Open the file /home/valandil/public_html/emailmarketer/admin/functions/api/jobs_send.php

    Look at line 15

    There is probably a require statement which points to
    /home/valandil/public_html/emailmarketer/admin/functions/api/send.php

    Now, figure out why cron/php cannot open send.php from jobs_send.php.
    Some ideas: wrong paths, wrong permissions, ...
    Also check others logs, like /var/log/messages, cron log

    Line 15 says this:

    require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/jobs.php');

    I have no idea what's wrong. Is it a wrong path?

    Does it work if you execute the cron job directly by root?

    check jobs.php is there and in the right place. You might need to find out what dirname(_FILE_) points to to do that.

    since it says it's failing trying to call:

    /home/valandil/public_html/emailmarketer/admin/functions/api/send.php

    make sure that file actually exists - AND that it's permissions are set correctly. A good possiblity is that it's got improper 'ownership', in which case I'd chmod the file to 774, but chown it's group to whatever group your *nix flavor uses to run cron jobs. (leaving the owner alone so you can still control it normally web-side)
