ok ive looked at my file structure and seen that maybe i needed to add my home and username to the command so i setup a cron job with this

/home/my-user-name/public_html/wow-gamer.co.uk/network/ow_cron/run.php

now im gettin this in email messages:
/bin/sh: /home/jordo2k1/public_html/wow-gamer.co.uk/network/ow_cron/run.php: Permission denied

i tried changing permissions but im still getting the same emails.

/usr/bin/php -q  /path/to/install/ow_cron/run.php

replace path to install with the location e.g.

/home/keelan/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

So cron would be:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/keelan/public_html/ow_cron/run.php


If you have cpanel.

yeah m8 thx for the advice, after posting my last post i realised id left something out and went back through the cron job documentation on the site and changed my job command.
after that it worked fine.
exactly how you posted the code here so thanks for the reply and if anyone else has a similiar problem i can confirm that keelans cron job setup is correct and will solve the problem like it solved mine.
