cupid.php script error

Hi,

I get the following errors when trying to run cupid.php script.

/cupid.php: line 1: ?: No such file or directory
./cupid.php: line 3: /aquota.group: Permission denied
./cupid.php: line 4: cmd.php: command not found
./cupid.php: line 5: cmd.php: command not found
./cupid.php: line 6: cmd.php: command not found
./cupid.php: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./cupid.php: line 7: `*     copyright            : (C) 2006 BoonEx Group'

The same errors occur for cmd.php and notifies.php

I am running PHP5, unix apache plesk cp

php.ini seems to be correct safe_mode off, register_globals off, allow_url_fopen on, I am not sure about exec but if run the script below:- 

<?php

echo "<br/><b>PHP INI settings</b><br/>";

echo "<br>safe mode = ".ini_get('safe_mode');

echo "<br>disabled functions = ".ini_get('disable_functions');

echo "<br>register globals = ".ini_get('register_globals');

echo "<br>exec() = ".ini_get('exec()');

echo "<br>max execution time = ".ini_get('max_execution_time');

echo "<br>post_max_size = ".ini_get('post_max_size');

echo "<br>upload max filesize = ".ini_get('upload_max_filesize');

echo "<br/><br/><b>ffmpeg output</b><pre>";

$s = realpath("ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe");

echo `$s -version 2>&1`;

?>

It returns the following values:-

PHP INI settings

safe mode = 0
disabled functions = 
register globals = 
exec() = 
max execution time = 30
post_max_size = 8M
upload max filesize = 2M

ffmpeg output

Icom,

it appears you have permission probles on your cron directory.

Could be, also this line is troubling it indicates there is a characheter that is expected thats not there or one thats there and shouldnt be..../cupid.php: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `('...... has any editing of this file been done? or mabye cron job input wrong..

Clebarron is right, in periodic/cupid.php on line 7, you have an extra open parenthesis or you have forgotten to put the close parenthesis,  "  ( "  or "  )  "  Open the file and take a look at line 7, it will be there.
