In setting up a cronjob in cPanel, your documentation mentions:
You will need to get the correct wget path and replace the domain name above with your site's domain. Every hosting has a different /bin/wget. Please consult with your hosting provider for further explanation.
As you suggested in an earlier post, i contacted my hosting provider and their response was:
As the domain imdren.com is the main domain of the cPanel account, that site's path is home/imdrenco/public_html. That means your site's path is just right for wget like this
https://imdren.com/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron
I have tried the commands:
wget
https://imdren.com/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron
and
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null “
http://imdren.com/index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&task=cron"
Both of the above commands produce an error email with the content:

Nothing works whatever I try.
Before I give up on this, is there anything else either you or other posters could suggest.
Thanks in anticipation
