So i moved to a VPS as i want to use one minute crons and the chat as it is resource heavy.

So now my crons are running, my host showed me a log of it running every minute but my users still say logged in all the time.

I don't understand :(

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/habbohub/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

I still cant get my cron stuff right, its really the only thing holding me up right now. But my issue is that my crons dont seem to fire at all.. I have the provider working on it..

BTW, what does the -q flag do?

-q will prevent cron from sending you an email every time the script runs.

Would you login via SSH to your account and run cron command manually:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/habbohub/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Will you see any errors?

root@one [~]# /usr/bin/php -q /home/habbohub/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

root@one [~]#

No errors... Didn't log out users though when they aren't online.

Hmm... try to enable DEBUG_MODE and DEV_MODE in ow__includes.config.php file and run cron command again.

Did you set 777 recursive permissions for ow_userfiles and ow_pluginfiles folders after migration?

Leader

Keelan Oct 24 '11

Debug on dev on, 777 already on them folders. No luck.

I am getting "permission denied" error while running cron.
I have enabled DEBUG_MODE and DEV_MODE in ow__includes.config.php file. Also ow_userfiles and ow_pluginfiles folders have 777 recursive permissions by default.

How does your cron command look like? Can you paste it here?

Below is my cron command.

public_html/buddy/ox/ow_cron/run.php

It should actually look something like this:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/your_accountname/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Did you check the Cron setup manual?
