Exchange rates and cron jobs

[peranders]

I'm trying to get the daily currency updates to work without success.

 

See the second picture for the error message.

 

Any idea how I should do to make it work? My webhotel has cpanel. See first picture.

it is correct path to your back office directory? Im asking because i tried to open it and i've got 404 errror in browser

Should I add perhaps /public_html/ or home/sjostrom/public_html ? No, tested it... Should I use some command for open a file?

take a look: http://sjostromaudio.com/shop/adminzxc/

it doesn't work. you need to modify this url to point to correct back office page

Now it works! I must add wget in front of the URL.

 

An improvement for the currency updates

 

Use PrestaShop's webservice to update your currency exchange rates. Please use caution, rates are provided as-is. You can place this URL in the crontab,or access it manually.:
wget -q sjostromaudio.net/shop/adminzxc/cron_currency_rates.php?secure_key=78ade7317939f27cxxxxxxxxedd03f887

 

-q turns off emails after each cron job

 

Why don't you mention the "wget" and the -q command? A good improvement and a very one too.
