title: .htcaccess blocking cron request?
body: <p>I set up my IX Webhosting to conduct the following cronjob every 15 minutes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>usr/bin/wget -O- http://xxx.com/php/xxx.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want the php folder to be blocked off from all outside requests for security reasons, so I set the .htaccess file to deny from all. But when the .htaccess file is present the cron job is denied with a 403 error. </p>
  
  <p>I thought that server-side cronjobs are not blocked by .htaccess? Is there any way to get around this? </p>
