Hi,

I am using the news aggregator to publish news on my site from various feeds. The news items never update themselves. I have set some news feeds to update once in 24 hours and some once in 4 hours. I always have to manually update them by clicking Update Items. What could be causing this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a cron job configured? (http://drupal.org/cron)

Thanks for the information. I have now setup a cron job using cPanel on the server. I hope this solves the problem. I will keep the list posted.

Thanks Earnie and Cog,

I did set up Cron jobs using the cPanel menu. It fixed the problem. I did not have access to lynx and wget on my account on the server. I had to use php in my cron jobs.

I'm using the below line in my cPanel Cron Jobs menu: 45 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/drupal/cron.php

With Warm Regards, Sudheer. S www.binaryvibes.co.in

I am surprised that this command works, since it does not refer to any particular site URL, but hey.

Also, I am surprised that it does not give you path errors about './includes/bootstrap.inc' because of the current working directory from which it runs cron.php, but as I said... nm.
