System Cron Setting

Nam Tran Ybarra @ June 26, 2008

After you have done the installation. Next step is setting cron job.

Copy all cron commands to your server cron job section
( IMPORTANT: Confirm with your host to see if the command is correct for your server. Many times error occurs because Cron Path is different between host. So copy a cron command you see in your memberspeed site and email your host to double check. It will save you a lot of “cron headaches” later:)

1/ Go to MemberSpeed Configuration==> Click on Cron Settiing

2/ Log to your server, copy and paste each cron:

NOTE: You see there is an email field that will notify you about your cron when it runs and or there is an error. You should use a “throw a way” email for this purpose because if you don’t, these cron notification messages can “eat up” your hosting space. You can use any of your email of course, just remember to clean it up often. Regardless, pay attention to error messages. Fix them if needed.

The most common cron errors were:

- user didn’t ask the host for the correct cron path

- user coped only a part of the command

- copied and pasted with a space before and after the command url
