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
