Problems with crons on LEB
Hello,
Can someone help please. I used the low end script to setup and configure my VPS. I've customised it slightly after by installing php5-gd, php5-mcrypt, php5-gd and by installing and setting up zend optimizer. But I can't get my crons to work.

Why don't they work? 
It's a problem with the command I think since the actual cron daemon is running and working.
Thanks.

Log files should show why the cron jobs are failing. One reason I can think of off the top of my head would be that your php binary isn't at /usr/bin/php - it might be /usr/bin/php5-cgi or something like that.
Hello,
In the 'cron' log I found this.
Aug 16 11:45:01 anglia /USR/SBIN/CRON[3300]: (www-data) CMD (/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/69mb.co.uk/clientexec/services.php 'fetchticket')
Is their anything wrong here?
Are there any other logs I should be looking at?
Man php includes this
-q Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP header output (CGI only).
You are not running as cgi
Try sudoing into www-data and run one of your commands from shell, see what error messages you get.
