Hello,

I just installed the CiviCRM on my joomla site, and everything work very well. But I faced some problem when setting up the cron job.

When I run the cron job with the following command
wget http://www.mydomain.com/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=admin?pass=abc123?key=3cx4aNkpQwxmM1hTMV~!B09iO6

It come out a 500 error when I check from my server log.

Did you guys ever find out what caused the 500 error?
Please advise me how to solve it...

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried the method you suggested, but it can't work.

However, I have solved this problem after struggling for several days.
The trick is just change the permission on the 'components' folder (http://www.mydomain.com/administrator/components/) from 777 to 755.

Hope this tips can help someone else who faces the same problem ;-)
