I searched this forum and install instructions.
I read Some articles and knew about cron Jobs.(because I'm not a developer).
Please tell me How To set it up.
the host offers Vistapanel only.and there is no option to set it up easily.
so,tell,how to set it up without cpanel.

try google search i have found this for you

You cant run cron jobs on vista panel / the Other one you mentioned you will have to pay for an external service or buy hosting with cPanel (not sure if there are any free ones) even if you are only testing you will need cPanel to run any script that uses cron jobs

Sorry, but in this case I can only suggest you to ask your hosting provider setup cronjob for you manually via SSH.

the correct path is /usr/bin/php /home/user/public_html/yourdomain/ow_cron/run.php that will work. with no -q or anything else. also make sure you enter the correct info for the minutes job to run. minutes 0-59 Hours 0-23 day of the months 1-31 Month 1-12 and days of the week 0-7. enjoy the info

google translation.

Good night ... I have spent the night over a month trying to place the mass email at work. I understand that you must have activated the cron job. ficheito run.php not have the lack of php and the path that I use in command is as follows cpanel

/ Pthiphop / public_html / network / ow_cron / run.php

I know that the cron job is needed to operate the network. I'm desperate I've read about all the comments here and I tried some things but I am not able ... someone help me? I appreciate very very much ... I no longer know what else to do ...

Bruno, what do you mean by "place the mass email at work"?
Bruno
Bruno Apr 30 '11
I was saying that the mass e-mail works only with the cron job. and that this was not my question. my question was how to put the cron job to run .. I can not understand ... I would like to help .. was very kind of you

Thanks

Do you have any Cpanel on your hosting? Would you find out on your cpanel cron settings?
Bruno

I have a hosting and cpanel. I do not know certainly set the cron job.
oxwall already installed and in command of cron I put:
/ Pthiphop / public_html / network / ow_cron / run.php

but does not work ...

how do I configure cron job? I've seen in the installation instructions and I can not ... perhaps I lack something I do not know what ...

Thanks

You need to put your cron as:
/usr/lib/php /home/Pthiphop/public_html/network/ow_cron/run.php

thanks ... helped. it seems that already did not receive the email the error message ... but my mass mailing does not send e-mail? what could it be?

The message I get in email is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Subject: Cron / usr / lib / php / home / pthiphop / public_html / network / ow_cron / run.php


Message: / bin / sh: / usr / lib / php: is a directory
--------------------------------------------------

is that okay?

Thank you very much

It seems that cron job was setup. But you msut be able to receive mass mailing,
Bruno
Bruno May 5 '11
sorry. but I could not understand why that's not to send mass e-mails since the cron job has been activated.

Can you planned me better?

Thanks

Do you receive other emails from your site?
Bruno
Bruno May 9 '11
not. when I try to send mass email sent says. but then I'm going to email my other User and do not receive anything. Network users do not receive the e-mail.

@ Bruno Please note that if you run very heavy cronjobs, may be not sending due to hosting provider  limits
