JoomlaPlug!

Using the latest cloner (free trial version) and jcron 1.2,

After some activities in the frontend, an email from the server is sent saying it was unable to open the cloner.cron.php file.

Cron RUN: enabled
Activate Email Logs: on
Enable Database Logs: on

Task Type: Web Address
In command to run field, I have http//...cloner.cron.php
In my testing environment, I have it to execute every 1 minute

When I run the cron link directly, the backup is executed properly, but not through JCron command.

Below database log is also recorded:

Hi there! Is your allow_url_fopen set to On in your site php.ini configuration? If not, that might be the reason of why the cron doesn't run! Second, have you also tried the other command type, SSH?

Hi Ovidiu,

Thanks for the reply.

allow_url_fopen is OFF. I'm on a shared host, and do not have access to php.ini.

I've also tried SSH mode but it yielded the same result.

Have you checked if exec function is allowed on your host? If not, you won't be able to use JCron to run the cronjob, you will need to get a server based cron manager from your hosting support if they provide one!

Is below what you are referring to?

from PHP info:
disable_functions system, shell_exec

Yes, that was what i referred to!
