Welcome to our camp Pedro!
Cronjob is necessary for sending emails, mass mailings, update profile online status, processing memberships and etc
How actually did you try to configure cron job and error did you find?

Thanks

this is the errpr message everytime it runs even I've set 755 on some files.

/home1/cvdpilot/public_html/cvdpilots/web/ow_cron/run.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home1/cvdpilot/public_html/cvdpilots/web/ow_cron/run.php: line 3: /0: Permission denied
/home1/cvdpilot/public_html/cvdpilots/web/ow_cron/run.php: line 4: access-logs: command not found
/home1/cvdpilot/public_html/cvdpilots/web/ow_cron/run.php: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/home1/cvdpilot/public_html/cvdpilots/web/ow_cron/run.php: line 5: ` * The contents of this file are subject to the Common Public Attribution License Version 1.0 (the “License”);'

I've set it up with cpanel on bluehost

It seems that at the begining of file run.php was missing symbol < before ?php
Would you check it please?

I had cron issues as well. Was showing first as file not found then permisison denied. I use a Hosting company, justhost.com
It turned out I had the wrong syntax but basically set a support call into my host. They had it sorted in a jiffy. (I was trying to do 1 minute jobs, they only allow 15min intervals)

In my cpanel the cron job shows up as
*/15 * * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/myacc/public_html/ow_cron/run.php

15 min interval is not good. In this case, your mass mailing, updating profile's online status, buying memberships and etc will work slow.
There are a lot of hosting companies, which are not allow cronjob every minutes, because saving resources. But we suggest you to choose hosting, which allow such setting.

TY for that advice. will pass on to the beancounters ;o)

i still not understand
please tell me more

How ??

@carlos
Open run.php via any text editor and check first line of this file. It must start from <?php

If so, even so I keep leaving this error

I'm getting this cron error, any advice

/home/****/public_html/relojdedios.com/ow_cron/run.php: line 1: lt?php: ambiguous redirect

I dont get it properly... you want me to put the code on the first line of run.php right? or have i understood this wrong?

* * * * * php [public_html/www/tcunity/ow_cron/run.php

I havent done this yet... and i want to do it before i open the page for all other users.

Please help!

Thanks

What error do you actually have with your cron?

Addenster,

its working fine now. i just didnt understand where to put the
* * * * * php [public_html/www/tcunity/ow_cron/run.php

But when i put this on the first line of run.php the page works much faster.

Thanks for your reply

You need to put it in crontab via SSH directly or you can confgure cronjob via any site CPanel/Plesk. All you need to do is setup cronjob with command:

/path/to/php /path/to/oxwall/ow_cron/run.php

which must run every minute.

I am still having problem please help me to come out this situation..

You have incorrect started PHP tags on run.php file at the begining. Please check it.
