    Hoping someone can help me out!

    Back in March I installed the aMember script on one of my domains. I had a tough time setting up the CRON job as most of the code lines provided to me by aMember didn't work. Finally I got the right line wich was:
    curl -s http://mysite.com/amember/cron.php

    The other day I started to get messages from the server saying:
    /bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/curl: Permission denied

    I put in a trouble ticket and was told that CURL was disabled on the shared servers for security. The tech assistant kindly reconfigured the cron job to work with php.

    This morning I got another email from the server stating:
    Cannot create license: unknown TLD for domain: i

    I will be honest, I haven't the slightest idea how to make this work.

    I emailed CGI Central supoort and they told me that it was my host that blocked access to curl and that I should forward the error message that I got to host support and ask to fix that error.

    Now of course it turns out Curl is disabled now, so I have no idea how to fix this problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much :)

    PS: just for reference, the following are the lines that are suggested in the aMember manual.... none of them worked upon initial install of the script.
    /usr/bin/curl -s http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php

    /usr/bin/wget -o/dev/null -O- http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php

    /usr/local/bin/lynx -source http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php

    /usr/local/bin/curl -s http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php

    /usr/local/bin/wget -o/dev/null -O- http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php
