Hello,

Thanks to x10Hosting for the move of the servers. Now my server - Chopin is working perfectly, with the exception of the crontab jobs. They were working well until about 3 weeks ago. Now they don't run.
I have changed nothing in the definition of the jobs, nor in the php programs that need to run.
Do I have to change something because of the change of the server? starka to chopin?
Please help. Crontabs are a very important part of my website.
Thanks,

orgutz

I would suggest dropping the cron jobs and then re-installing them. The crontab file might have gotten messed up during the move (this is a guess, I have no info). I will try to get my friend who is on chopin to see if he can get a job to work.

My friend on Chopin got:

Code:
/usr/local/bin/php  /home/USERNAME/public_html/foo.php

to work. foo.php is a simple script that just appends a timestamp to a file.

But when he tried anything with email, there was a problem. No output at all even the standard crondaemon notification email. I think that has to do with Chopin and email rather than cron.

Still no cron jobs running. I reset one that runs every day with no success. Did they change something? (php path ).
