I have php CLI installed. It is at..
/usr/lib/php
I got my web hoster to setup my cron job to get newsgroup posts. Unfortunately however I get constant errors eg.
Subject: Cron <user@server> php /home/user/fudforum/scripts/nntp.php
Auto-Submitted: auto-generated
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/user>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=user>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=user>
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11
Content-type: text/html
Missing Forum ID Parameter.
How can this be fixed please ? This is from the bottom of my FUD newsgroup page..
Newsgroup Rule Forum Exec Line Action
newsgroup name Forum name nntp.php 1 [Edit] [Delete] [Clear Tracker]
***Notes***
The Exec Line in the table above shows the execution line that you will need to place in your system's job scheduler. It is recommended you run the script on a small interval, we recommend a 2-3 minute interval. Here is a Linux cron example:
*/2 * * * * /home/user/fudforum/scripts/nntp.php 1
Regards, John.

Remember to add the parameter (number representing the rule; probably '1' for the first rule).
Okay, thanks. I sent him that info. Now the previous errors don't occur but I keep getting error emails saying...
"Unable to establish connection to news.gmane.org on port 119 failed With Error #110 : Connection timed out"
Yet I don't get that going directly to the newsgroup with a newsreader.
Here is some of my error log in case it helps to find the problem.

[Wed Feb 03 15:38:52 2010] [error] [client 202.etc] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/404.shtml
This looks like the error I was getting previously. But in what extra directories do I put the php.ini file(s) now ?
Regards, John.

Okay, now at 120 secs. Doesn't seem to have helped yet.

If it doesn't help, do a trace route to see what blocks it (ask your provider to help you).
Here is my trace route..
02/04/10 12:06:30 Fast traceroute news.gmane.org
Trace news.gmane.org (80.91.229.13) ...

Does any of that help ?
I have asked my web hoster to do a trace route too.
Regards, John.

naudefj wrote on Thu, 04 February 2010 13:09Good, let us know when they get back to you.
They got back to me and said...
"Port 119 has been opened for you."
Shortly after that I was able to get newsgroup posts going to my forum. But not the other way. I have no idea whether I need to tell them to do anything else.
Regards, John.
