clubwdw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have set up Tiny Tiny RSS on my HelioHost account, in order to guarantee a future for my RSS feeds after Google Reader goes dark on July 1. Everything looks and works the way it is supposed to. . . .except one thing. . . .it doesn't update in the background. I've done extensive searching for answers on how to make this happen and according to someone in the know, here's what they have said: First make sure your webhost allows background processes. If so, this is my crontab entry (which runs 3 times per hour):5,25,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php54 /home/<username>/webapps/<ttrss-directory>/update.php --daemon > /dev/null 2>&1 & Am I able/allowed to do this and if so, can someone give me an idea of how it is achieved? Please and thank you! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinryuu Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We only allow 2 cron jobs per day, you can use setcronjob.com to run up to 50 remote cron commands per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would I go about setting up something like this when it is not stored on the heliohost server? For example, using the cron job I posted earlier, how would I format it on SetCronJob.Com, modified, of course, to run a job once every 30 minutes. . . .? 5,25,45 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php54 /home/<username>/webapps/<ttrss-directory>/update.php --daemon > /dev/null 2>&1 & When I try to run the update script, it complains giving me the following error: "Please run this script from the command line. Use option "-help" to display command help if this error is displayed erroneously." Am I doing something wrong? I'm very new to these things and I REALLY appreciate all your assistance!

Shinryuu Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I can't help you with the implementation of crons since I don't use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice IT Support Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Be sure you can access update.php from a web browser. Then copy the URL at setcronjob.com. You can set the time with the UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
