Hi,

Could you please:

1. set up cronjobs at storycatchersonline.org
2. check and/or change the remote publishing settings, so they work at storycatchersonline.org

(I know item 1 has been done before... but some weird server behavior -- inexplicable even to the isp -- has (among other things) eliminated the previous cronjobs setup!)

UPDATEDBackend, FTP, Control Panel, and site-gmail login info is provided below.

TIA - Jeff.
Jeff,

Setting up a cronjob is pretty straight forward if you follow these directions in the EasyBlog Documentation here:

Hello Guys,

Thanks for sharing Randall. Jeff, for some reasons, I couldn't connect to your SSH to set up cronjob. I was keep getting Access Denied. There might be a IP address blocked.

Hello Jeff,

Hm, just tried this and it doesn't work for me too. The host storycatchersonline.cloudaccess.net doesn't seem to exist?


~$ ping storycatchersonline.cloudaccess.net
ping: cannot resolve storycatchersonline.cloudaccess.net: Unknown host
~$

storycatchersonline.cloudaccess.net is the WRONG url. (a former playground site, I've been trying to get off my control panel list! )

Sorry for the confusion.

Try storycatchersonline.org (This is where I need the cronjobs.)

Hello Jeff,

Hm, this is odd because when I tried to connect to storycatchersonline.org's ssh with the provided login credentials from cloudaccess, it isn't working.

GOOD GRIEF!

The entire site at storycatchersonline.org now seems to have disappeared! I have no idea what's going on. I will try to straighten things out with the isp, then get back to you.

Sorry for all the confusion here.

- Jeff.

FIXED! (I think)

Reported problem to the isp, and got the following reply: "It's working fine on my end now - I re-applied the DNS configuration for this site, just to be sure that it is set up correctly. Please check and confirm that it's now working file on your end as well."

Could you try the cronjobs task (yet again!) now.

Again, sorry for all the confusion here.

- Jeff.

Mark,

I now find that the email for the site is not functioning... So maybe just leave the whole thing for now... and I will submit a new cronjobs ticket to you guys, once the isp mess has been resolved, and I am sure the site is functioning properly.

Sorry for wasting your time with all this.

Regrets - Jeff.

Hm, something must have gone really wrong with CloudAccess. They are normally not like this :P If you still have problems let me know and I will try to get someone from their team to look into this thread

Thanks for the offer Mark.

Lucas Ciesielski at CloudAccess now seems have gotten it all resolved. Someone else at CloudAccess (who I've problems with before, and who, I believe, I will DECLINE to accept any further "help" from!) managed to get the DNS for the two sites (demo & real) crossed over.

Lucas has now checked things out to make sure the "fallout" from the crossover has been corrected, and set up the site mail system so it works properly.

Anyway, (30 or 40 emails later - thanks for your patience in all this!) could you please

1) set up cronjobs for storycatchersonline.org
2) check, and if needed correct, the remote publishing settings.

Site Login / FTP / etc. info can be found in my first email of this thread.

I have also appended the access details for the gmail account below, in case you need to get in there as well.

TIA - Jeff.

Hi Mark,

The email login details in my last post were for my GoogleApps account for the site email, NOT my control panel.

The control panel login has remained unchanged, and is the same as in my first post on this ticket. I have appended the control panel login below, for easy reference.

Hello Jeff,

Sorry but I am really lost here. Do you want us to setup the cronjob for you or do you want us to setup the remote publishing here?
