I have a dedicated server but the cron jobs aren't working it seems. If I access the cron URL directly, the mails are sent.

My server has also been blacklisted as spamming, possibly due to the cronjob?

Is there any Linux / server guru here who can take a look at my server?
Hello Kai,

Is it possible provide us with your Joomla backend, Cpanel, and FTP access so we can help you check on this? Please advise.

Arlex, another issue:

Hello Kai,

May i know how you get the response message from server?
Because I have tried to update in my email from Cpanel Cron Email, but i didn't receive any responses from the server like you have mentioned in first post

Also, could you mind consult with your Webhosting provider regarding this issues and see how it goes? Please advise.

Hello Kai,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Did you consult with your Webhosting provider regarding your cron setting? I'm not sure that when you set wrong the cron setting is it will be causing my server to be flagged as spamming. Because I have tested put my email address in your Cron email, but my email inbox didn't receive any response from your server.

Hi Arlex

I haven't looked into the cronjob yet... temporarily disabled it to see if I still end up on blacklist.

Can you look into my other problem, the JFBConnect/avatar issue stated above?

Hello Kai,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue with the avatar when enabled the JFBConnect integration, it seems like the user 'xbit' do not have an avatar at facebook? I see a question mark avatar returned from facebook. Also, when i attempt to access to this user facebook profile, it say:

Profile Unavailable
Sorry, this profile is not available at the moment. Please try again shortly.

Is your user 'xbits' the facebook profile allow public access?
Please advise.

Hi Sam

Correct, that user has not connected to Facebook yet - only Twitter. What is the profile number it is linking xbit to actually, since I did not connect with FB?

And Mark replied here that JFBC should send ED the avatar, but since the user didn't connect using FB, there is no avatar... is this the correct diagnosis?

Hi Kai,

What EasyDiscuss do when you've enabled the JFBConnect integration is that, it will try to find the fb account id mapping from your JFBConnect db table. If you've previously logged to your facebook with JFBConnect, EasyDiscuss will be able to find your profile id

Please advise.

Then what happens if the person has only used Twitter for example, the avatar won't work? (becomes a question mark)

Hello Kai,

Sorry for the late reply. I've added the correct way of calling the avatar and profile link in this file: ../components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/integrate.php. But somehow the JFBConnect didn't return the result correctly. Can you try to login to your site with your twitter account and see how it goes?

Thanks Nick, I *think* the profile URL is working for now...

However, I still haven't cracked the cronjob for sending out notifications. Need some expert support please!

Hello Kai,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I have checked in your server response when i added in my email address

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://xxx/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron"

Then i get this

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: /bin/wget: No such file or directory


After that i try put this wget path

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://xxx/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron"

Then i get this

--2014-06-11 17:35:01-- https://xxx/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron
Resolving xxx... 217.23.10.162
Connecting to xxx|217.23.10.162|:443... connected.
ERROR: cannot verify xbit.asia’s certificate, issued by “/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA”:
Self-signed certificate encountered.
To connect to xxx insecurely, use ‘--no-check-certificate’.


But I have tested the email notification, it seems like working now, I have help you set back the time interval 5 minute per process cronjob.
Also, can you consult with your Webhosting provider regarding this why getting "ERROR" cannot verify... something? Please advise.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the help. I added --no-check-certificate and it seems to be running now at last...

Is there any security concert to do this? Since I'm on my own server I think it should be ok?

btw, is the above post publicly displayed? (ip, domain name) if so would rather it be hidden, thanks
