How about using the new Joomla 4.1 "scheduled tasks" for cron jobs?

hey Dave,

It seems like I can't access your site backend, you can check my attached screenshot below.

Have you consulted with your Webhosting provider yet whether your server supports wget? if no, perhaps you can ask them and see if you would like to set up a cronjob on the server, what kind of command need to use?

By the way, you can update your site Cpanel login access at your first post, you need to edit your first post and put the Cpanel login details into the site details form.

I just noticed that you already updated your siteGround login credentials, I did try to log in on your siteGround account but it seems like siteGround required me to enter an authentication code if you received this authentication code, can you send it to me now?

Yes, I'm seeing that also. After viewing a previous response about using the "scheduled tasks" option in Joomla 4.1, I decided to update to Joomla 4.1, as we were still using Joomla 3. Partway through the installation, I saw an error message. I figured to troubleshoot this when I had more time, but now we are having website problems, which may be related to the failed installation. I've contacted our host to see what they say.

The code is 198684. However, we are having another problem. Error 500 message, cannot access the website. I followed this to a message that it is usually caused by a bad plug-in, but the article linked to is for Wordpress, not Joomla, so I am confused.


Yesterday, I attempted to upgrade to Joomla 4. Partway through the installation, there was an error message. I didn’t have time to follow up on that, so I figured to do it later. Maybe this is the cause of the problem with Error 500? Will appreciate your feedback.

The verification code no longer work now since the code already expired.

Regarding your 500 error, may I know where did you hit this error? Because I can't encounter this error on your site frontend and backend.

For now, I would suggest you solve the issue one by one first before you upgrade your site to Joomla 4 because this Joomla 4 is a major update and you need to make sure that all the installed component/plugin/template is compatible with the Joomla 4 first before you proceed this.

It would be best you can clone your live site to one of your staging sites so that you can test this Joomla 4 major update and see if you have encountered any issues first before you perform this upgrade from your live site.

Regarding for your cronjob configuration issue, can you try to add the following cron command from your cronjob configuration page and see what response you receive?
