Trying #2. Stupid forums bitched about invalid HTML. Seriously CCP thanks for destroying my post. Now to remember what I typed.

It looks like there are other siteground users who come across this same error.

Things to try(note if #2 doesn't work, remove it before trying #3):

1. Make sure your cron job has this in front: /usr/local/bin/php5

2. Put the following right after ?php in class.pos.php

function date_default_timezone_set($dummy) {
// do nothing
}

if you get an error, tryin putting in further down and see what happens.

3. Replace date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); with putenv("TZ=UTC"); in class.pos.php and see what happens.

My main concern is that the php versions are running in different versions and so what may work in cron may not work in the normal POS tracker. This is mainly specific to #2.

Best of luck to you, please let me know what happens because 95% of the time no one does. So maybe by adding this line the chance is increased.

For #2: That's good in a sense at your install is really running at something past PHP 5.1 lol.

For #3: Try just commenting out the entire date_default.... with two slashes in front // . What do you have in the line for your cron job exactly(its okay to exclude your server address/personal details) and is this in cPanel I'm guessing?

We'll try another thing or two left and then maybe just manual for the rest of the POS tracker's life if we can't figure it out. :P

[quote]Edit the .sh file and remove the 2nd and 3rd line. So you're left with
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/php5 cron_updatepos.php

Also try and replace
#!/bin/sh

with

#!/bin/bash

. It looks like from the googles and from what we've seen with the last error that this maybe a special setup for some unknown reason. .sh should call the default interpreter however not sure exactly what that is on your host. I tried asking them, they wouldn't tell me lol. Its just odd though that the information you get back is just whats in the file. It's like it doesn't understand what it's seeing. However I am no shell expert so I could be completely off on this.

Another suggestion though that may just work the best and what one other person used.

wget -O - -q http://hispostrackerdomain.com/cron_updatepos.php >/dev/null

Have something like that for a cron job just may work out for you.

I'd like to take credit for the wget command but I can't lol. Great to hear it works though!

Bluehost should work fine.

I use 1and1 (not as nice but cheap) and Lunarpages(my love). Otherwise I've seen people host it on various others(dreamhost, rackspace, hostgator) with no issues except Moo Cow hosting or w/e they are called. They got a really funky setup too and their admins are dumb unfortunately as it seems like a decent host.

BTW, I noticed a math error, not sure where it was coming from, but I suspect it might be the charters I'm using. As some of you may know, Goonswarm's war on ice has forced me to manage some high sec towers, and I'm getting the wrong figures on towers there. In particular, small towers are showing needing 27,511 m^3 of stuff. I of course did not grab a debug before doing the work at hand.

If anyone else sees this on their instance, please let this thread know.

PS. Sorry Gallente tower owners.

Thanks for making this POS Tracker \o/

ya tnx



Then are you going to rewrite Tracker for new pos fuel system?
