.htaccess阻止cron请求？

Question

I set up my IX Webhosting to conduct the following cronjob every 15 minutes.

usr/bin/wget -O- http://xxx.com/php/xxx.php

I want the php folder to be blocked off from all outside requests for security reasons, so I set the .htaccess file to deny from all. But when the .htaccess file is present the cron job is denied with a 403 error.

I thought that server-side cronjobs are not blocked by .htaccess? Is there any way to get around this?

Answer 1

Change the cron job to:

/usr/bin/php /path/to/web/root/php/greader_forceupdate.php xxxx

/usr/bin/php may need to be adjusted if PHP is installed elsewhere.
/path/to/web/root is the path on the filesystem.

To access the parameter, use $_SERVER['argv'][1].
