Hi,

i setted the cronjob but I don't understand if I want it runs automatically (every X minutes/hour) I have to check "Send E-mails On Page Load " to Yes?

'cause now the email are sent only if I run web crob putting the URL in a web page.

Thanks
Hi,

They say "Try to eliminate "/bin".

So the Cron Job become:

wget -O /dev/null "http://oukside.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true";

And... It works!

Very Thanks for your support

Hi there,

If you've set up the cron job, you don't have to enable the setting 'Send E-mails On Page Load' which is not optimized the site speed which is emails will be processed whenever a user accesses the page. It is not recommended to turn this option on unless you do not have access to cron jobs.

'cause now the email are sent only if I run web cron putting the URL in a web page.

-> Correct if I'm wrong, do you mean, the emails only can sent out as you manually run the cron url not by cron job? If yes, it may caused you've set up the cron job wrongly.

I think I found the error, 'cause is the same for another problem I hade (redirect of all /index.php to / - the cron string contains index.php).

Edit.
It seems that doesn't function anyway.

In the screenshot the setted cron (cPanel)

Hello Vincenzo,

I do not think it is a redirection issue because when I tried to manually access http://www.oukside.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true , it works fine.

I have a feeling that the "wget" executable path might not be correct or your hosting provider doesn't allow you to run wget in crons. Can you please try checking this with your web host?
