Hi all and be gentle!

[Roscoe79]

I just started using Drupal as CMS and have a question.....to get the news aggregator to update every hour, it states that cron.php is needed to be called. Could someone please give an understanding of this and what I need to do to make it happen....and yes I'm not that savvy.

TIA

Roscoe, I can't help you with the cron.php setup. But there is a module for drupal that is supposed to do the same thing without setting up the cron stuff.

It uses page views to check if the cron has been run in the last x amount of time, and runs it if needed.

Here's the link http://drupal.org/project/poormanscron

I will take a look and thanks again.....
