shot in the dark.....

hi there, im trying to set up a free game panel for my clan.....

http://www.gsp-panel.com

the game servers are hosted on a local network.....

the website is a paid host.....ive installed the game panel and its working to an extent.....

http://doa-clan.dk/panel

now this is where im lost........it asks the the following:

"The server monitor does not appear to be setup or has not ran on your system yet, for optimal performance please enable the server monitor "

so ive gone into server monitor and it says:

The Server Monitor does the following: •Checks if the backend is reachable, you will receive an email if its unreachable
•Collect data for server graphs
•Shutdown servers outside of allowed limits
•Restart servers that are not responding
•Optimize the database
•Scans the server for game installations to keep the cache up to date

To start using this feature, add the following to your task scheduler/crontab at 5 minute intervals: php -q /hsphere/local/home/candyman/doa-clan.dk/panel/api/servermon.php
IMPORTANT: This must be set to 5 minutes, anything different may result in degraded performance.

ive tried setting up a schedule on the game server machine but it doesnt seem to be be doing anything.....

if anyone is willing to help i can always give you an account to take a look......
i think im in over my head on this....
cheers chris

Is the link correct to servermon.php?

 

[terminator2k2]

well i found out that this line is supposed to be on the webserver as a cron job...

php-cli -q /hsphere/local/home/candyman/doa-clan.dk/panel/api/servermon.php

the only thing is , my host doesnt do cron tasks.....could this be run externaly?

ive tried the free cron sites , but keep getting errors saying this must be run from cmd line......

Have you asked your host provider? I know most companies charge extra for the cron job scheduler.

As for it being ran externally, I'm not sure as I've never tried.
