hello!
I have not been able to setup a cron job for my ES, EB, ED website.
I am on Bluehost.com (BH) and cpanel.
I tried but was having access denials . I removed it all together.
Please could you instruct me on the exact command to insert on BH?

Another question:
1) I have my main webesite on main.org
2) I created a foulder, SOCIAL, where i installed another joomla for my social network, using ES, EB, ED. all worked well here.
3) then i have a new domain name, social.org, which i added to my account as an addon domain, with root directory as SOCIAL.

When i access my social media website via main.org/SOCIAL, all the links and singin/register work well.
But when i access is via social.org, the site shows up well, but the links, mostly the login/register links are faulty.

Is there anything in your extensions that i need to set to adapt to this changes (main.org/SOCIAL --> social.org) ? Shouldn't it be automatic?

Many thanks in advance
Hi Alexandre,

Regarding the cronjobs setup, have you read our online tutorial for setting up the cronjobs? If not, here are the links.

http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/cronjobs/cpanel-cronjobs
http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/cronjobs/cronjobs-cpanel
http://stackideas.com/docs/easydiscuss/administrators/cronjobs/setting-up-cronjobs-in-cpanel

If you still having issue setting up your cronjobs, then maybe you can us your login credential to your cpanel and we can setup the crons for you? Please provide us your Joomla backend admin access so that we can test the the crons

As for your domain issue, may i know when you installing your Joomla, you actually installed at main.org/SOCIAL or social.org? If you've installed at main.org/SOCIAL, i am afraid Joomla might somehow 'registered' your old

Can you pass us your social.org backend admin access and your FTP account so that we can investigate your issue further?
Please advise.

I installed joomla 3.3.4 a few days ago in main.org/SOCIAL and then installed ES, ED, and EB on this joomla installation.

After that, i bought the domain name, social.org, and then pointed it to the folder /SOCIAL, in which the (above) joomla with ES/EB/ED are running.
I added social.org as an addon domain (in my cpanel account) with a root directory as /SOCIAL

Thanks for helping

Hi Alexandre,

Please do not reveal your site details in your reply. You should include your site details at 'Site Details' below the reply form. Anyway, I've moved your site access details to your original post.

By the way, when i attempt to access to your mountolives.org site, i hit below sql error.

Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB' SQL=SELECT `session_id` FROM `mo_session` WHERE `session_id` ='2542ba1d3d7d74413f34b9027f036a06' LIMIT 0, 1

Please advise.

Hi Alexandre,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've added the cronjobs for your EasySocial, EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss. Can you please verify again if the crons execute successfully from your end?

As for your issue with the domains, I've check your 'mountolives' site and look like you are using a component called MightlySites and when i check the setting, the only one domain still referring to 'main.org/SOCIAL'. I never try this component before so I not sure how this mightlySites work but could it be your issue was caused by this mightlysite?

Please advise.

Hi Alaxandre,

Look like the path to wget is incorrect. Can you consult with your web hosting provider where should we use the path for wget?
Please advise.

Hi Alexandre,

I've updated the cron command to:

wget -O /dev/null "http://yoursite.org/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron";

Can you verify again?

Mightysites is a component that help share content across joomla instalations. I will check.

Here is the new error from cronjon:

Hi Alexandre,

Regarding your crons, I've use another method by executing the php file using php command. E.g.

PATH_TO_BIN/php /home/PATH_TO_JOOMLA_DIR/components/com_easydiscuss/cron.php

Your crons should work correctly now

Hi, my crons are not working either. I am using cpanel, and I have set it up like this: /usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxx/public_html/projects/comunidadmep/components/com_easydiscuss/cron.php

Is there any config I have to apply on joomla, easysocial settings?

Regards,

Marvin M

It's depend, may i know are you asking easydiscuss or Easysocial cronjob?
Perhaps you can start a new thread regarding with your issue and provide us with your Joomla backend and Cpanel access so we can better have a look?
