Thanks, Rahul. I'm trying it right now.

Dave S Apr 12 '13

I followed the instructions and it didn't work. Run cron via HTTP didn't work too. I have SSH enabled. My web hosting is Hostgator.

It looks that new update is not good with Cron Jobs. Oxwall 1.5.1 worked well with running cron via HTTP (i edited the run.php file).

Devs, please fix this!

Rahul verma Apr 12 '13

can u show the code which u used locally by my instruction?

for me it worked i have no message of cron on my dashboard

#23

Dave S Apr 12 '13

My code is "php /home/SITENAME/public_html/ow_cron/run.php" My PHP version is PHP 5.

For Hostgator users, read on http://support.hostgator.com/articles/what-do-i-put-for-the-cron-job-command

I contacted my web host tech support about this and they said that all the cron jobs that i used are correct. And also said "You may need to contact Oxwall now".

from hone/***** your code is right but at starting i have doubt .

idk i want to know that when you used command which php
did u got just "php" ? or it was like usr/bin/php ?

also can you tell me that u have oxwall install on a primary domain like 123.com or on a sub domain aaa.123.com ?

Fixed! The warning message is gone when i configured PHP. Hostgator has 3 PHP versions: System Default, PHP4 and PHP5. I changed it from PHP5 to System Default. The cron job is normal like /usr/local/bin/php /home/site/public_html/ow_cron/run.php. All is ok now. Thank you very much Rahul for considering this issue.

my pleasure Dave..

but the main problem is not fixed.. it is highly recommended that we should run cron by HTTP method..

i tried something more on cron things ..

this is for DEV team please read it

in my cron jobs panel on justhost , there is a option to get notification by mail " if any of my cron run and generate an output."

i submitted my email there and used all http cron jobs for 1 hour each

wget -q -O /dev/null http://www.yoursite.com/ow_cron/run.php

lynx http://www.yoursite.com/ow_cron/run.php

curl http://www.yoursite.com/ow_cron/run.php

but i got no notification about them

then i run cron locally , and now i have tons of mails for cron job

it means no HTTP cron running properly or none of them generating any output.and just by local system crons r running properly ..

so it is not a server side problem.

next i am going to try to replace new cron run.php with old 1 , lets see what happens..

Would it not be less efficient since the http would also involve a dns lookup etc? Am I missing something here?

#29

Rahul verma Apr 13 '13

idk

but read it here http://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron

it is written here that http method is recommended for 1.5.2

DeFender Apr 13 '13

but why the server log is showing that cron is runing, but users are disonnecting after 30 min ? htaccess ???

and if I run cron manualy , nothing changes.

It seemed to me to be expounding the virtue of running it local...

>> it is written here that http method is recommended for 1.5.2

It is recommended as easiest way of setting CRON.

>>but why the server log is showing that cron is runing, but users are disonnecting after 30 min ? htaccess ???and if I run cron manualy , nothing changes.

If user just closes the browser without loging out, he stays "online" under "Members" sections as well as in chat for 30 minutes.

30 mins timelimit is set here: ow_system_plugins/base/bol/user_service.php:
method - deleteExpiredOnlineUsers

So after 30 minutes system checks whether user was active or not, if user stayed inactive for 30 minutes ( and he surely did, since he just closed the browser), CRON will "offline" this user.

Again, issue with the notice that CRON needs to be set, even though it is set, is already being looked at by our developers.

Daren, this error usually means that there is no space left on your server.
