Hi,
Ive been fighting with the isp, as to why my cron jobs wound run. They wrote me back and told me that my htaccess is not allowing cron jobs, and renamed the file .. but now, my site wont work right.. the Login wont redirect etc.. ARGG!
Can you see something in my htaccess that would limit cron jobs in OW?
Here the code..
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind
RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Weird.. The cron worked fine for a while..Then stopped.. I can run it from shell with no errors..
Tech support said that they removed the htaccess, it worked.. told me that something in my code was blocking cron. but ow needs it to run..
Ive written tech support back, asking them what in the code they think might be blocking it..

Strange, if it worked and you didnt change anything then a host issue id say? Does your cron allow 1 min intervals?

There's cron, and then there's cron...
Oxwalls cron job is implemented as a php-script, it can be run by the server itself (using the local php-interpreter, usually /usr/local/bin/php or similar) or called from outside through the web-server, e.g. typing "http://www.yoursite.net/ow_cron/run.php" in your adress bar. But the rewrite rules in .htaccess deny access to this script, they rewrite the url to add index.php. In order to run cron-script from outside you have to exclude "ow_cron/run.php" from the rewrite conditions, to do so you can add
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run.php
(this means: rewrite only if the request is not to /ow_cron/run.php)
e.g. my .htaccess files is as follows:
--- quote ---
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind
RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Im still waiting for the response from the provider..
The bottom line is, that the Server isnt even firing the cron job at all.
They have yet to tell me why.. Driving me crazy

Meanwhile you could still trigger the ow_cron/run.php script from an external cron-service. Usually you can get a "trigger every 5 minutes" service for free; that's not the same as running cron locally, but it'll get you started with your site. for external cron-jobs you must add the aforementioned line to your .htaccess file.

this only for cpanel cron job
php /home/yourpanel/public_html/ow_cron/run.php
your .htaccess should not have anything to do with the cron job
cpanel is:
/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/oxwall/ow_cron/run.php

.htaccess won't interfere with your local cron jobs, true. But if you want to run the cron jobs from outside - e.g. for testing the script - you need to modify .htaccess as stated. .htaccess could only interfere if you configured your cron-job wrong, like using the scripts URL instead of its filepath. what exactly did you put in your cron-job definition?
