My listings were not updating unless I ran mythfilldatabase from the command line.<br>
<br>
So I added it as a @daily cronjob.<br>
<br>
But it still will not work unless I runit from the command line.<br>
<br>
No biggee, I can log in and do so, but daily.<br>
<br>
I have seen a lot of people having problems with listings data but I do not think I have seen anybody reporting exactly this problem.<br>
<br>
I imagine it is some sort of environment problem.<br>
