Description of my issue:

i try to make a cronjob for filescanner with serverpath, my serverlog says it happens:

xxx - - [02/Feb/2013:21:50:01 +0100] "GET /www.webdesign-plus-services.de/cli/admintools-filescanner.php HTTP/1.1" 200 1783 "-" "Alfahosting GmbH - Cronservice"

 

but there appears no log in admintools of it

i try 2 path:

1)usr/local/bin/php  /var/www/wxxxx/html/joomla/cli/admintools-filescanner.php

 

2)var/www/webxxx/html/joomla/cli/admintools-filescanner.php

 

both appears in serverlogfile, i also try over url, that also appears there, but not in admintoolslog-

 

I need cronjob-scans because a lot of my sites were under attack and i want to know if my repairs close the hole and dayly log in all sites isn't most efficient.

 

Are there tools for admintools-cronjobs which spare logins?

You MUST NOT attempt to access anything in the cli directory through the web server. "cli" stands for "command line interface". The scripts in there are supposed to only be run from the command line version of PHP. If your host doesn't support regular CRON jobs, which runs in a command line environment, you cannot use admintools-filescanner.php. This seems to be the case here. Your server only allows "fake" CRON jobs, i.e. accessing a URL on predefined time intervals. This won't cut it. You need real CRON jobs. Ask them.

Really? My personal blog is hosted on Rochen for about $100 per year and I have regular CRON jobs. I'm sorry to break the news, bt your host is full of cow dung. They are trying to upsell you to a dedicated server with SSH login access (which you don't need) instead of giving you access to regular CRON jobs. My advice? Move to a different host.
