i've been running cron jobs before, but have never felt the need to use it on MT. now, though, i thought about using the Publising Queue, and for the first time ever i'm trying to use the run-periodic-tasks script.
running run-periodic-tasks via cron, i get this error message:
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib ../lib extlib ../extlib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ../extlib/Data/ObjectDriver/Driver/DBI.pm line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../extlib/Data/ObjectDriver/Driver/DBI.pm line 9.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../lib/MT/TheSchwartz.pm line 10.
Compilation failed in require at run-periodic-tasks line 32.
i thought this might just be a permissions error, but all permissions are ok. also, cron runs smoothly. i haven't changed the run-periodic-tasks script at all, and DBI is installed and working (version 1.605).
so, dear fellow MT users, what could be wrong here? the run-periodic-tasks documentation doesn't mention any need to change this script before running it. i hope someonr can help me out!

Your issue is that the "run-periodic-tasks" script doesn't recognize the path to the lib and extlib folders.
A work around for this is to edit the "run-periodic-tasks" script and to replace "../lib" and "../extlib" with the full server path to those two folders.
Kind Regards,
