Cron error
April 12, 2012, 06:19:42 am
Trying to get Cron running for the first time under WP.  I've got past 404 and 403 errors, but now have an http 500 error.  Looking at the error log I see this:

[Thu Apr 12 14:10:01 2012] [error] [client 91.146.107.207] SoftException in Application.cpp:601:
Directory "/home/maadmino/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin" is writeable by group

The folder (bin) is writeable (777) so what's the problem?  I'm at a loss and have read the docs and can't see any hints as to what the folder permissions should be (if that's the problem).  BTW, the cron user is a WP user with Admin authority.  Help!

...if I make this folder with chmod 755 which from googling seems to be the right permissions I get a 403 forbidden error from cron.  Can anyone help?

The error u r getting is a shell error. Might want to check with a local person on how to run a shell script from the terminal/command line

I spoke with local support & they said to use full path for php and script, so here's my cron (with cron timing stuff at front, and where password really is a password)

$ /usr/bin/php /home/maadmino/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u username -p password -e Job -a execute

and the result was...      /bin/sh: $: command not found

Got some more help from local support (vidahost.com), who when they tried the url I'm using as the cron command got a message from a WP plugin called Adminimize that said it required a newer version of WP (! :o), which is impossible.  So I removed that plugin, reran cron and it has succesfully run the scheduled jobs :D  Phew!

The email I got from cron was kinda confusing - are these messages a problem?
