Is my cron job right?

[Diggsey]

I'm making an online game in php, which is supposed to simulate the real world of business, with different companies, shares, etc.

I want to run a php script each day, using a cron job, to calculate things such as interest and things like that.

 

My site is diggsey.heliohost.org. I followed the instructions on another website for setting up the cron job, but it doesn't seem to be working (nothing happens and I receive no email), could you tell me what is wrong?

 

This is the command:

php www/GameOfLife/cron.php

 

Currently it is just supposed to run a single query which inserts the user 'cron' into the database

Seems like something the admin should reply to.

 

Can you post the link of the tutorial here though? Also, have you tried using another email address from a different host?

[Diggsey]

The email address was not a heliohost one, it is my one which I know for sure works.

 

This was the tutorial:

If you did everything correctly, then it's probably a host error. Try setting up something different with your apache if that's possible, or just wait until an admin answers this because this is way out of my league.

Ah, it seems to be working now

It was because the server is eight hours ahead of GMT!
