OK, this problem was fixed by putting a bash script at server root (below public_html):
Create a file with the correct paths and call it
html_catalog.sh
Code:
cd /home/your/path/to/admin
/usr/local/bin/php -q -f html_catalog.php
mv /home/user_account_here/public_html/*.html /home/user_account_here/public_html/dir_for_store/
Now you just need to create the cron job. In cPanel this is easy: Cron jobs/Advanced (UNIX Style)
Enter the time to run the job and the script: /bin/sh /home/user_account_here/html_catalog.sh
Now, html catalog is created automatically at whatever time you choose. The previous posts create the modification in the html_catalog.php and this just moves the files from root to the dir. of the store. If you want them in root, that's OK, just skip the bash script. - Mike
