Mass Mailer 6.1.5

Ihave been trying to get mass mailer to work for over a month now. With no luck.  I set the cons job as follows using Cpanel:

MAILTO=helpcenter@maddpoets.com

0 0 * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/periodic/cmd.php

*/10 * * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/periodic/notifies.php

* */1 * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/periodic/cupid.php

Cpanel or my host server changed each line as this:

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q

meaning it deleted and changed this:

/usr/local/bin/php –q

now I tried to send mass mail and I got this sent in my mail box at helpcenter@maddpoets.com

Warning: require_once(["/home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/"]inc/header.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/periodic/notifies.php on line 21

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '["/home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/"]inc/header.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/periodic/notifies.php on line 21

so i looked up the file and this is what i get on line 21:

require_once( '["/home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/"]inc/header.inc.php' );

is this line correct? and if not what needs to be fixed. I am new to the code side and i think from Inc to php needs to be in the quote part but i dont know php so i dont know. Can ya help? I checked the permissions and the file is there. Also from my host I got this as a reply to my help ticket”

Dear Customer,
Thanks for contacting us.

We apologize for the trouble you've been having. /ramdisk/bin/php5 is the path that you should be using for  the php program you do not have access to /usr/local on the server. Another way that you can setup php scripts as cron jobs would be as follows:

wget -q -O - http://maddpoets.com/periodic/cupid.php

Thanks
Zak

So now I must add after changing my crons to this suggested line the mass mailer has done anything in 24 hours.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

The line indentifies your folder/directory location of the requested file:

requesting notifies.php from: home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets

Make sure all your settings are correct in the inc directory header.inc.php file.

 i did and they are 644. any other suggestions

Your host specified a direct path for PHP. I told you to review you header.inc.php file located in the inc directory. You need to review all your settings in there and ensure they are correct. Then re-upload the header.inc.php file.

Notifies.php is not your issue :)

I may be mising your point as i have opened the file what am i looking for? Every thing is point to where i placed it at set up. example the correct db is listed , pass word, url, etc.

now this line is interesting to me

$PHPBIN                    = "/usr/local/bin/php";

should i change it to what the host is speaking of to

"/ramdisk/bin/php5"

is this what u mean?

I just sent a reply to your message. Your notifies.php should be

require_once( '/home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/inc/header.inc.php' );

NOT

require_once( '["/home/gnetport/public_html/maddpoets/"]inc/header.inc.php' );

I hope that helps..

Yep ;)
