Cron jobs on DirectAdmin

cihan

i have a test file
cronjob.php:

Code:

<?php
$a = "a";
echo "test";
?>

When i set cron job in my DirectAdmin Web Control Panel with this code:

Code:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/cihan/domains/baglantilarim.com/public_html/cronjob.php

an mail comes saying:

Code:

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory

If i use this command:

Code:

/home/cihan/domains/baglantilarim.com/public_html/cronjob.php

this mail comes:

Code:

/home/cihan/domains/baglantilarim.com/public_html/cronjob.php: line 1: ?php: No such
file or directory
/home/cihan/domains/baglantilarim.com/public_html/cronjob.php: line 2: =: command

near unexpected token `newline'
/home/cihan/domains/baglantilarim.com/public_html/cronjob.php: line 4: `?>'

If i type this:

Code:

lynx http://www.baglantilarim.com/cronjob.php

Well, the path to php on frihost is /usr/local/bin/php, so that error makes sense.
