1) Expiring temp symlinks in /files/folder - check that there're no folders older than Temp Expire time
2) Expiring files |

If u have cPanel, there's special section for this. If u have SSH root then use command
then add this line there
| Code: | | 0 * * * * cd /your-path-to-cgi-bin;./cron.pl >/dev/null 2>&1 |
make sure cron.pl is 755.
Alternatively you can run cron.pl from browser using url like http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/cron.pl , but you will get 500 error - that's correct cause it's not for browsers originally. |
