Hi David
by now you'll know how bad I am at all this technical stuff.
However, with the amount of feeds I'm working with, I really do need to automate.
I've been trying to follow http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/198 and I got step 4 ( yes, only!)
Can you you advise how I might get past this stage? I put in the command you state 'locate -r /wget$'( or variations of) and I get a no such file or directory found?
Thanks
Paul
Hi David,
Sorry for delay in responding, didn't expect anything until Monday!
I did what you requested and got "Try `wget --help' for more options."
Any advice?
Cheers
Paul
Hello Paul,
That would indicate that wget is installed fine - so perhaps it's actually "locate" that is not installed on your server.
In that case, have a go with the following at the command line (assuming that wget is installed in the usual location):
$/usr/bin/wget...which should probably work, and in which case use /usr/bin/wget in your automation script...
Cheers,
David.
Hi David,
am getting the following message:
"missing URL", is that normal? I guess that I can carry on the with rest of script?
See how far I get this time
Thanks again
Paul
Hi Paul,
Yes - that sounds fine (it means you do have wget!) so use that line in your script...
Cheers,
David.
Hi Paul,
That does indicate that wget is not installed on your server. Could you try just entering the command on its own, e.g.
$wget(where $ is your command prompt) and see if the program runs. You would normally see something like this:
wget: missing URLUsage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
Try `wget --help' for more options.
Cheers,
David.
