Magento cron.php throws error when called via Cron or php
<p>I recently hosted my website using Magento, upon setting up my cron.php i get the following output :</p>

<pre><code>/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 1: ?php
: No such file or directory
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 2: /**
: No such file or directory
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 3: bin: command not found
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 4: $'*\r': command not found
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 5: bin: command not found
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 6: $'*\r': command not found
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/home/xxx/webapps/abc/cron.php: line 7: ` * This source file is subject to the Open Software License (OSL 3.0)
</code></pre>

<p>'</p>

<p>I host this on Webfaction, and it appears that this error only happen on Webfaction. My other website (using the same Magento version) which is hosted on another service runs just fine.</p>

<p>Even after i removed the following lines on cron.php, it still does not work:</p>

<p>I've also tried to put "shebang" just before the 

<pre><code>#!/usr/local/bin/php
</code></pre>

<p>And get this result:</p>

<pre><code>/usr/local/bin/php^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
</code></pre>

<p>I suspect that there might be something wrong with the encoding. Can anyone help me with this ?</p>
