I set up a blog to be posted, but when the time came around, it never did. It sat in the scheduled pile saying that it was posted some number of minutes ago. What's the deal?

Did you set up a cron job?
(Or, a bit less likely, create a daemon?)
yakuzai
No, I just figured the feature would work...


How do I go about doing this?

This tutorial is pretty old, but the underlying information is still the same. The exact details of how'd you'd set up a cron job will depend upon your host, but CPanel is pretty common. Otherwise, you'll have to check your relevant knowledge base or see what they offer in their particular management interface.

Thanks, but now I get this error.

CODE
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /public_html/gregpappas/cgi-bin/mt/: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: ./tools/run-periodic-tasks: No such file or directory


I know these paths exist... do I need to go further back with my path?

Here it's kind of limited how much someone on the outside can help you, as those paths are going to be specific to your server/host.

One thing, though: On most hosts I've encountered, the username comes before the webroot directory. Are you sure that first bit shouldn't be: /gregpappas/public_html/cgi-bin/mt/ ?
You can get a hint by looking at the "Current working directory" line when you run mt-check.cgi

Yeah, sorry, apparently I forgot to add /home/fastfrie , but I'm not so sure it works. Will be back to confirm.

I'm dealing with a similar issue - any idea what I'm dealing with based on the information below?
