FTP connection problems | Joomla Support | Forum Archive

I've created a multicron.php in the configs directory;

$_CONFIG['license_code']='';
$_CONFIG['backup_path']="/home/sites/mysite.com/public_html/";
$_CONFIG['clonerPath']="/home/sites/mysite.com/public_html/administrator/backups";
$_CONFIG['jcuser']='admin';
$_CONFIG['jcpass']='21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3';
$_CONFIG['mysql_host']="localhost";
$_CONFIG['mysql_user']='mydb';
$_CONFIG['mysql_pass']='password';
$_CONFIG['mysql_database']="mydb";
$_CONFIG['select_folders']="";

$_CONFIG['secure_ftp']="0";
$_CONFIG['backup_compress']="0";
$_CONFIG['cron_logemail']="[email protected]";

$_CONFIG['cron_ftp_user']='user';

$_CONFIG['cron_amazon_awsSecretKey']='';

I would seem that the file is correct ( I have changed some values forprivacy ).

My cron script is setup as follows:

'/usr/bin/php  /home/sites/mysite.com/public_html/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/configs/multicron.php'

Running this returns the following:

'Your script returned the following:
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10
Content-type: text/html'

Something isn't right here.

My email for the normal cron gives me a lot of detail.

The multicron.php isn't working.  What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Ovidiu,

Changed to

'/usr/bin/php  /home/sites/firstintheomelettequeue.com/public_html/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/cloner.cron.php multicron.php'

Testing this script - nothing happens.  I have tried copying the multicron.php to the same directory as cloner.cron.php.  Again, nothing.

I'm very confused here.  Even if the cron job above did work - wouldn't it run both cron jobs?   I do not want Xcloner backing up to my webserver - that's the whole point setting a cron job to download directly to ftp and then remove the file from the server.

If cloner.cron.php runs and then multicron.php - won't I still end up a with backup on my web server?

Testing the job on my hosts control panel just returns and error.

?
