I have been able to set up the cron rule in my ssh crontab and so far so good. However, when the cron is processed, I am getting the 403 forbidden error. I think it might be due to the filter rules I have in my nginx that bans wget to my server for security reasons. My questions are:
1) Is there a way I can set the cron with the direct path to the php script instead of using cron url as a webserver/client request?
2) Would setting a direct path like '/var/www/html/com_easysocial/path-to-script' work or does the cron script requires the webserver environment ( such as $_SERVER or $_REQUEST )?
