Cron behind a secured directory

Im only a user, i dont have access to server files besides the one i have in my ftp web.

I sat up a couple of cronjobs. All point to a file that lies behind a protected directory. In order to make the cronjobs able to run i changed the paths and added User: Pass@

Now at least i get an entry in the errorlog, which didnt happen before. It says: [Tue Mar 31 20:17:01.557893 2015] [auth_basic:error] [pid 5287] [client 176.9.72.152:50763] AH01618: user Xelali not found: /MarginBot/crons/TenMinuteCron.php

The path of the protected order is /MarginBot/ directly in the web-dir. And i sat it up with ISPConfig 3. When i want to go in through browser then i have to enter the userpass: Xexali and 2E3zGvR...SdVrWyXs (points are placeholder) and i can go in. Though that doesnt work for the cron job. The path for the cron is:

http://mysite.org/MarginBot/crons/TenMinuteCron.php

so i use:

http://Xelali:[email protected]/MarginBot/crons/TenMinuteCron.php

But i only get the above errormessage in error log.

What can i do to fix that?

Thanks!

 

I sat up the secured directory n ispconfig 3 directly and i attached a user to it. When i want to go into the subdir through a browser then i add those users user and pass and i can get in. I then added those exact user and pass in the link above but for some reason it claims the user doesnt exist. Even though i can use the user and pass in a browser to get into that dir.

Is that an error in ispconfig?

 

On the shell, sounds like i need server access. I guess i cant test this then since i only have this space from my former employer and i dont want to bother him too much with that free service.

Guess i have to let it disabled for now in order to being able to run my script. I sat the robots.txt to block indexing of that directory so i think it might be safe enough.

But thanks for the help. I thought it might be solveable without server access.
