Hi
Read this about Cron job : http://docs.oxwall.org/install:cron

For bluehost, I think the correct command is
/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home7/yourname/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Chris Oct 25 '11

In your host account, have you Cpanel ? (Where you can create database, webmail etc)

Where it says "Common Settings" Click that and select Every Minute. Then in the Command Box put

/ramdisk/bin/php5 /home7/yourname/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

Replace yourname with your Hosting Username.

After fixing it, Try it again and it SHOULD work.
