Help on dailymail with Hostgator

[online82]

My list has been working fine for months, and then I haven't
utilized the list since I have moved which is in September.  
I don't know if I had updated the script and something went
wrong, but the dailymail shows that it hasn't ran since
september 24.

It has worked before...not sure what I need to do to change this..

It's possible you changed your dailymail password accidentally.  For best results, copy and paste the password from your cron task into ListMail.  If that doesn't solve it you may need to re-test the cron task, specifically the availability of "wget" the web-page-grabbing tool used by ListMail by default.  An alternative may need to be used.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

DW,
Thanks for the fast response...the dailymail is still not running...
I installed the script in the root of the domain.  
I doublechecked to make sure the dailymail password
is correct.  

My host is with hostgator

Here are the sample cron jobs that i have tested
but does not work...

/usr/bin/fetch -o /dev/null -T 0 http://DOMAIN.com/dailymail.php?pw=PASSWORD 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

curl -o /dev/null http://DOMAIN.com/dailymail.php?pw=PASSWORD 2> /dev/null

lynx > -O /dev/null -dump http://DOMAIN.com/dailymail.php?pw=PASSWORD 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://DOMAIN.com/dailymail.php?pw=PASSWORD 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

What am I doing wrong, DW?  

Thanks

I used this and it worked on my hostgator server...

php /path/to/your/public_html/mail/dailymail.php DAILYPASS

For Hostgator I have always had to upload my own copy of wget and I am not sure if this is against their policies (it probably is).

Here are the binaries I have available:

I believe the FC3 version will work on HostGator.  Upload wget to your home folder then change your dailymail task and .cgi scripts to point to /home/username/wget instead of /usr/bin/wget.

I used this and it worked on my hostgator server...

Maybe I should read more carefully before responding!  Indeed, you can run dailymail with the PHP commandline as you describe.  It's good to know this method works on Hostgator.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

I am no longer recommending HostGator due to their policies.
