I am using cpanel and komento and I have set up according to your instructions but while checking my default system email account I found a load of error messages from easyblog and Komento


Cron <quanta@ruk6> /bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://quantumwarp.com/index.php?option=com_komento&task=cron";
From Cron Daemon

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


Can you let me know what I have done wrong or if it is something I need to talk with my hoster.

I also ran this from the browser myself, should this not be restricted to CLI.

I will add my details if it is not an easy fix.

Thanks
The instructions are correct and it is stated clearly that you need to get the correct path to wget, http://take.ms/THpEa

Different hosting environments stores the wget binary in different locations and there is no way for us to identify them all.

Hi there,

Seems like the wget path was incorrect where different hosting has a different /bin/wget. Can you consult this to your hosting provider regarding this?

From my provider:



Thank you for your patience as we have investigated your issue. From what we have found the Crons you have put in place were failing due to the calling wget from the wrong location on the server. We have updated your crons so they now work properly:

=========

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://quantumwarp.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron"

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://quantumwarp.com/index.php?option=com_komento&task=cron"

----Change to----

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

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

=========


I am running on cPanel. I think your instructions might be wrong. Can you check?

I understand what you are saying, but 99% of cpanel installs are on CentOS and the WGET will be in the same place because the software is all the same. All the instructions I have found all use the new location.

Anyhow I have marked this issue resolved.

I guess, the new version of CentOS stores them differently but we'll look out for this
