Cron job help needed

I contracted a fellow DP member to install an auto-updating worpress site for me on dreamhost. The final step is the cron job to get it updating. I have been through the DH wiki and the script documentation and I expect I’m making a small but fatal error.

Can anyone help?

I m too finding the answer for this. Google it, yahoo it, technorati it, also msn it, i still unable to install feedpress. I'm really an idiot. So please guide me please, thank you.

 

can we see the error you're gettin ?

 

WordPress database error: [Table ‘gohtong.wp_rssfeeds’ doesn’t exist]

4 message like this, what is going wrong?

 

are you using cpanel ?

 

Sounds like you need to insert the exact address of the file you're trying to execute.

Open up notepad and paste in

save it as test.php or something similar and upload it to the directory.

You now have the direct URL to execute the page from the cron.

If you're running the cron from cpanel your line of code on the cron should look something like this;

 

I upload via ftp and then go to wordpress cpanel. go to plugin, then activate, after that come out this message.

can you guide me on feedwordpress please? I try many times but get error, can you guide me from start till the end? OK,i start again to install. Here is the step i should do for install feedwordpress, isn't?

1.Install feedwordpress.php in your WordPress plugins directory.
2.Install update-feeds.php in your WordPress wp-content directory.

Then i loss my way when starting from below step:

Optional) Upgrade the copy of MagpieRSS packaged with WordPress by installing the new rss-functions.php (archived in OPTIONAL/wp-includes) into your WordPress wp-includes directory.

Is this mean i must contribute this step? Wish someone will point me out. Thanks

 

I contacted someone to set this up and they left me hanging. I'm not even sure how to give you the info you need to help with this.

I do not have a cpanel. I added a shell account and I'm trying to do this via the shell prompt. I have no clue and between the documentation and the host BS wiki support, I'm lost.

Anyone willing to help via PM or email? All I have to offer is some rep or a link or two.

Thanks.
