There seem to be several issues here. I would recommend working through http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviMail+Installation#CiviMailInstallation-SettingUptheCronJob from the start.

Trial 1: why are you trying to execute cron rather than setting up a job using crontab?

Trial 2: I'd search for the term civicrm.config.php in the wiki to see if you are supposed to configure it - I see that if you have drush installed for Drupal it's not necessary, but you're using Joomla! so perhaps it is.

Trial 3: as you are executing the same command as Trial 2, I'm not sure why you are getting a different message. Did you change something between 2 & 3?

Based on the error of #2, I would suggest you try the wget method of cron, as opposed to the php method. You will find details about it in the wiki, as above.
