error in perl

[MartijnSander]

Hello all,

As a newbie in perl I installed a script. I installed it according to the user manual (reamdme file). After setting a crontab in Plesk i received to emails with the following text.

dos2unix: converting file /tmp/groupdata.xml to UNIX format ...
dos2unix: problems converting file /tmp/groupdata.xml
/usr/bin/md5sum: /tmp/groupdata.xml: No such file or directory
Can't exec "/usr/bin/touch": No such file or directory at /var/

line 224.

/bin/sh: /Ledenlijsten/binvar/

http://www/vhosts/hendrikvanhalewijn.nl/httpdocs/sndata_fetcher.pl:

No such file or directory

Can anyone inform me how I should solve this problem. I is possible to send you the files if requested
Kind Regards

Martijn

Hello Martijn,

Does it run ok if you run the script by hand, rather than under the control of cron?

The options are: fast, cheap and right - pick any two.. &

I'm terribly sorry but how do I start a script by hand. My hostingprovider doesn't support shell.

Hmmm, not very helpful.

It looks as if it's failing at the first step, dos2unix fails and then nothing will work after that. Can you look at that stage more closely? Is the file it's trying to convert really there? Does your script have the right to read it? Does your script have the rights to write to its output directory?
