Hey Rob,

Your cronjob command is incorrect. You should:

1. Get the absolute path to "wget". If you are unsure, check this with your web hosting company

2. For your cron command, it should be

/path/to/wget -o /dev/null "http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true"; > /dev/null 2>&1

Mark:

Thank you for the reply. I am confused by the conflict in the StackIdeas documentation. Your solution (above) is from the EasySocial cronjobs cPanel instructions while my settings are from the EasySocial cronjobs GoDaddy instructions. I had set up a cronjob via cPanel as you describe but GoDaddy does not support wget.

I will consult with GoDaddy again regarding the absolute path and the wget issue vs direct to the php script.

Ah, sorry about that! I missed your post about "Godaddy". For Godaddy, you need to run the PHP CLI (Command Line Interface)

If you take a look at the docs here, http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/cronjobs/godaddy-cronjobs , notice that the command is:

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "/path/to/components/com_easysocial/cron.php"

You need to select this in Godaddy.

Thanks again. That is what I had set up, see the first attached image. I have since deleted that cronjob.

I prepared the cron.php file and I understand the root path to components/com_easysocial/cron.php. Why did you include the /web/cgi-bin/php5 at the beginning of the path?

This is because PHP needs to execute the file. If you do not insert that, there is no way to execute the php file. I believe you should contact Godaddy and ask them about the PHP path.
