Feedwordpress Crons & Updating Feeds

I try to update feeds using Feedwordpress and cron and get the following error (reported by email) - so feeds won't update:

/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php: line 60: //: is a directory
/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php: line 61: syntax error near unexpected token `'error_reporting','
/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php: line 61: `ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);'

Code (markup):

In the hosting panel I've set the cron as follows:
/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php

Can some expert help?

 

What version of Wordpress are you using?

 

2.02 - just upgraded

 

Can you post your CRON call?

 

Hey Sketch, where can I find this "CRON call"?

 

Maybe this helps (should be a cron call?)

Here's an excerpt from the author's tutorial:

25 * * * * cd $HOME/www/wp/wp-content ; php -q update-feeds.php

Code (markup):

I haven't created a crontab, just used the command line from cPanel to execute update-feeds.php (as shown in my first post above).

 

Ya, I meant the crontab I call them calls... it's hardly a tab

The problem might be that you're using $HOME, the command line won't know what is means. Try replacing $HOME with the full path to your www directory (whole thing would look something like /home/username/www/wp/wp-content). If you don't know your full path, ask your host.

 

Sketch, the path is correct:
/home/love/public_html/news/wp-content/update-feeds.php
And I used the Standard Cron Manager of cPanel

So the problem is 99% elsewhere.

 

Found it thanks to a user in a blog!

You have to put php in the front line!

Jesus...I've been searching for MONTHS!!!
