Like I said, you don't need to add your IP address anymore, the server_name() function should automatically get your IP address if there is no domain name.

uhh I missed that part sorry, I will check it.

Ok I believe I've tracked down the cause of the cron job problem which I originally thought was a permission error. After finding an error log in the cron folder it looks like the issue may have actually been with the ticker_update.php file. The config file was being included before the library files, so the server_name() call in the config file was failing. The problem should be easily fixable by including the library files before the config files. I will include a fix in the next version of BitShop but for now the solution is to open up the ticker_update.php file and replace lines 3 to 5 with these 3 lines:

Code removed: download latest version of BitShop to fix this issue.

You know what I just realized that adding that server_name() call in the config file was probably a very bad idea. It will probably cause a lot of errors on servers without a host name. For some reason when a script is called via a cron job it doesn't seem to know about the host name but it does in all other situations if one exists, so the fix I gave above will work but it's not a great solution. I'd rather not have any config files rely on any library functions so I'll have to fix it some other way.

New version of BitShop has been released, it should fix the cron job issue and automatically get the IP of a server without a host name.

Works perfect. Thank you.
