[RESOLVED] Background Processing NOT Working!

[eddytorry]

Hello, everybody I wanted to ask why my background processing is not working, every time I upload a video, it says the thank you for uploading thing, then after wards nothing happens, and I check my debug.txt and it seems to be calling the wrong cron job command this command below is the one that appears on my debug. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

is your cron set to run convert.php or cron.php?....it should be cron.php

It only work if your php support CLI.

/usr/bin/php -q /home/xxxxx/public_html/convert.php 59

On some servers CLI version of php will be in different folders, so you need to put correct path to PHP CLI in admin area.

Here is result on cpanel server

In the case, you need to use /usr/local/bin/php which is CLI

I changed it and it's still the same command showing I don't know what's wrong.

I had also problems with the Zend optimzer which worked only over the apache webserver somehow, so I used this command in my cron table which it runs every 2 minutes with batch processing enabled:

Without htaccess protection:

wget -q http://example.de/cron.php & rm -f ./cron.php*

With htaccess protection:

wget -q --http-user=admin --http-password=ddf33example http://example.de/cron.php & rm -f ./cron.php*
