Cron Job Issues, [solved] Options

[manzanita]

I am having a hard time getting the cron job to run.

Version: aggregator_scraper-1.5.4
Joomla: Version 1.5.23
Hosting: GoDaddy shared

I have tried to use the mycron.php, and also to run cron.aggregator.php directly from the cron job

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error when trying to run mycron.php
----------------------------------------------------------

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: file_get_contents(http://MYDOMAIN.ORG/administrator/components/com_aggregator/cron.aggregator.php) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

Site error: the file <b>/home/content/04/8080804/html/_MYDOMAIN.ORG/administrator/components/com_aggregator/controller.php</b> requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not sure why it is reporting this as ionCube is definitely installed as the software would not run without it. I will try putting php5.ini in the administrator/components/com_aggregator/ directly and see if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am too getting the same error suddenly. It was working all fine the previous time i logged in. Please help. The link you've provided above does not help. I don't use cron and I have uninstalled all other RSS importing extensions.

This is the only way to wok component with cronjobs automatically.

1. To test cronjob, first open in browser url:

Код

http://yoursite.com/administrator/components/com_aggregator/cron.aggregator.php

2. If address is working, create file with name mycron.php. Code for this php file:

Код

<?php
$a = file_get_contents('http://yoursite.com/administrator/components/com_aggregator/cron.aggregator.php');
?>

3. Upload file mycron.php in your public_html or in other directory. Create cronjob in your cpanel with command:

Код

/usr/local/bin/php -q /relative-path-to-host-directory/public_html/mycron.php >> /dev/null

"relative path to host directory" must be in most ways name of your host account. If You dont know path, ask your host support!

4. Set cron to run every 5 (recommended) or 3 minutes. In Unix Style view this should be:

Код

*/5 * * * *

5. Ready.

I am still not able to get my cron running although I've followed the above steps perfectly.

The only reason can be wrong path. Ask for a correct path your host support.

The path is correct and I don't get any errors but the cron just doesn't work

This is php code:

Код

<?php
$a = file_get_contents('http://yoursite.com/administrator/components/com_aggregator/cron.aggregator.php');
?>

You know php? If path is correct and this code not work mean that your host not support function file_get_contents! Say to your sys admin or host support: WHY?
