I try to get a php job working, but neither an error message has been sent by the server nor does it work (no protocol entry in civicrm). Here the job:
*/20 * * * * php /var/www/web139/html/samadhi_institute/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php  -s domain.org -u crm_user -p crm_users_password -e Job -a execute
another job of the sort
php /var/www.../cron.php is running
Would somebody be so nice to have a second look at the syntax? I do not see an error there. Thank you!!!

P.S. when I start the tasks from the backend no problem at all!
i was following this document: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs#ManagingScheduledJobs-PHPclimethod

the log of a manual execution from the backend:

Time1:
Parameters parsed (and passed to API method):
a:1:{s:7:"version";i:3;}

Full message:
Starting execution of Process Inbound Emails

Time 2:
Parameters parsed (and passed to API method):
a:1:{s:7:"version";i:3;}

Full message:
Finished execution of Process Inbound Emails with result: Success (a:0:{})

i tried ssh and putty, both do not let me in... I think I have to talk to the provider for this... there suld be an error e-mail for cron but it is not getting in my inbox either :-(

URL method gave me just a white screen. But mow the e-mail logging is working again...

Warning: require_once(civicrm.config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/webNNN/html/domain/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.class.php on line 202

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'civicrm.config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/webNNN/html/domain/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.class.php on line 202

and that is the part of the code:
   $civicrm_root = dirname(__DIR__);
    chdir($civicrm_root);
    require_once ('civicrm.config.php');               (line202)
    // autoload
    if ( !class_exists('CRM_Core_ClassLoader') ) {
      require_once $civicrm_root . '/CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php';
as I get it it is looking for civicrm.config.php within the civicrm root directory?  This is within /html/domain/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/...

or needs the file to be copied to: /usr/share/php ?

web_services, I do not know for sure what the issue is. You definitely do not need to copy any files to /usr/share/php. CiviCRM is known to work for most normal server configurations, so my guess is that something is unusual with your install or your server. Hard to know what however.
