Usong a cron job with PHP-CGI

I just set up my osTicket on my 1and1.com shared host.

It seems they only offier PHP-CGI, not PHP-CLI.

Is there another script I can use with crontab to fetch my e-mails, since I can't use the cron.php script with PHP-CGI?

I was able to get it working.

I finally found the answer here:

http://osticket.com/forums/showpost.php?p=37198&postcount=5(http://osticket.com/forums/showpost.php?p=37198&postcount=5)

what I needed to do was to change the wget to use POST, like this:

*/1 * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null --post-data '' --header='X-API-KEY:<my API key>' http://<domain and path>/api/tasks/cron

that worked for me. I'll probably change the interval from 1 minute to something higher, but having it low makes testing go faster.

More help please

Hi Noam,

I'm also trying to get this working on a 1and1 shared host.

I don't understand what http:///api/tasks/cron refers to, in my osticket upload there is no "tasks" folder in the api folder.

I also don't understand what has to be done to get the "my api key"

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

John

I can't access my 1and1 host right now, but I think that was a separate folder in the download, that I needed to upload.
