periodic/cmd.php keep on populating my inbox

The cron job (/public_html/periodic/cmd.php) keep on populating my inbox every minute.

Is this normal?

Checked the permissions and

/periodic 755

/periodic cmd.php 644

/periodic cupid.php 644

/periodic notifies.php 644

/periodic periodic.file 644

What is it sending you?  Otherwise I would say you've misset the time setting for your cron jobs on them.

Agreed.

Check the cron settings. the periodic/cmd.php is supposed to be set at once per day at midnight.

Thanks guys. It is sending me this->

<font color="red">allow_url_include is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)</font> <br />
Please go to the <br />

and solve the problem.

I checked on my site's phpinfo and allow_url_include is set to "Off" state. What seems to be the problem?  /periodic/periodic.file contains these lines->

MAILTO=myemail
0 0 * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home2/****/public_html/periodic/cmd.php
*/10 * * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home2/*/public_html/periodic/notifies.php
* */1 * * *  /usr/local/bin/php -q /home2/****/public_html/periodic/cupid.php


p.s.
I added a php.ini under periodic folder containing 'allow_url_include = Off' but it didn't solve the issue.

Sometimes servers use 2 different versions of php. One for the apache web server and the other for command line scripts and cron jobs.

This seems to be the case for you.

If running a dedicated server you need to find the primary php.ini file. Normally located in the etc directory and change the setting there.


if running on a shared host, you will need to contact your host. You will not be able to correct it in a shared enviroment. Your host will have to do it for you.
