Unable to get PMBP 2.2's cronjob working

[Anonymous]

hi,

we used to use v2.1 till our host decided to upgrade the server to php 5.3.10 - pmbp had to be upgraded to 2.2 to get it working again. however, the syntax has changed…

SHELL_MODE.TXT says it should look something like this:

php -q -f /home/dwtphovu/public_html/intellisource.co.za/backups/backup.php dwtphovu_3760450065_prod, dwtphovu_5683194816_prod, dwtphovu_5683194816_test, dwtphovu_8347379386_prod, dwtphovu_8347379386_test, dwtphovu_externalsuppliers, dwtphovu_intellicron 1 1 1 1 "../prod_3760450065/|../prod_5683194816/|../test_5683194816/|../prod_8347379386/|../test_8347379386/|../images/|../intellicron/|../simplehtmldom_1_5/" 1 "INTELLISOURCE BACKUP"

however, backups are not created! :o i did the setup word for word, and completed the mysql and ftp setup. yet the mails i receive from the cronjobs that ran just contain:

Not safely logged out!<br>To safely logout enter a WRONG password: <a href="index.php?logout=TRUE">logout</a><br>Please login (use your MySQL username and password): <a href="index.php?login=TRUE">Login</a>

NO backups are made, and i have no idea of how to get rid of this login on crontask message!

somebody PLEASE help ASAP!!! been sitting with this problem since i upgraded pmbp last week. it is quite urgent - i got another 3 or 4 php installations to upgrade as well…

some added info:
pmbp 2.2 was installed to the directory /intellisource.co.za/backups/, and the recommended configuration file and export folder was moved to /pmbp/ of where the exports should be saved and where the configuration is kept.
below is the configuration file's contents, if this may have any bearing with the title of this topic:

also - i have generated a backups.php script, and saved it alongside the moved directory global_config.php and folder exports/ as well as setting the permissions via filezilla to 0777.
however - i keep getting the following messages from it, whenever it is run:

/home/dwtphovu/public_html/pmbp/backups.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/dwtphovu/public_html/pmbp/backups.php: line 2: //: is a directory

what is this and how would i resolve this? i need to get pmbp 2.2 setup asap to back up files, on a daily basis!
