Thanks

Is 5 available? If so, how can I update? Bob

Thank you, Jim, for your help, but I'm clueless. 1. How many log-on to my site, version 4.7, would I need to eliminate the need for the cron? 2. Will the New version 5 require the con for my issues? Bob

I decided not to use Easy Cron. My site is SiteGround. There AI responded to my cron with the following. Do you agree with there assessment? Do you see anything wrong with the following cron? /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 Do you see anything wrong with the following cron? /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 Here is there response: The cron command you've provided seems to be intended to execute a PHP script with certain parameters, but there are a couple of issues or points to clarify: 1. Script Path: The command includes placeholders (`/home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2`) which should be replaced with the actual path to the PHP script you want to execute. Ensure that these placeholders are replaced with the correct script paths or parameters. 2. PHP Version: The command specifies PHP 8.0 (`/usr/local/php80/bin/php`). Make sure that this version is compatible with the script you are running and is supported on your hosting environment. 3. Memory and Execution Time: You've set `memory_limit=-1` and `max_execution_time=0`, which means there are no limits on memory usage and execution time. While this can be useful in some scenarios, it's also risky as it could potentially lead to resource abuse if the script has any issues. Consider setting sensible limits based on your script's requirements and server capacity. 4. Cron Setup: Ensure that this cron command is properly set up in your Site Tools under Devs > Cron Jobs. You should also provide a valid email address when setting up the cron job to receive the output for debugging purposes, which can help you verify if the cron job is executing as expected. If you need to adjust or verify this cron job, you can do so by accessing the Cron Jobs section in your Site Tools. If you're unsure about the script path or any parameters, it might be helpful to consult with the developer of the script or reach out to us through the "Contact Us" tab on your current page for further assistance. Thanks for your help. Bob

I keep getting the cron error. My site is in the development stage. I can't shake the cron error I have been getting over the years, so I decided to go with EasyCron. Still no luck. Here is what I get. I might mention it is totally Greek to me. Latest Execution Failures Cron Job Setting (Show) Lastest Execution Failures (Up to 20 logs) Schedule Time Start Time End Time Execution Time (second) HTTP Code Status Output 2024-07-04 02:58:00 CDT 2024-07-04 02:58:03 CDT 2024-07-04 02:58:03 CDT 0.140540 500 Failed Detail View Output Suggestions: Try increasing the timeout setting of your web server or script (instructions). You may ask your hosting guy to do it if you don't know how to. If your hosting has a firewall filtering external requests, ask them to white list our IPs. Problem persists? We're here to help.

I want to create a community with a homepage that opens Invision Forums. My home page should display information about the site and links to my Invision forums. Is this possible? All the examples I have seen display a forum. My site is not ready as yet. . I'm just looking for ideas. I would like to see some sites that display my ideas. Bob home2000.com

>>Rick<< My forum has nothing of value. My Invision Community is as new as if I had installed it 10 minutes ago. When you're talking about MySQL 8.0 it is not PHP? The reason I ask is my PHP is 1.2.7 and MySQL would be jumping up to about the same version number. Are we talking about 2 different items or have I got it confused that we're talking about one item, PHP? In other words, MySQL and PHP are one of the same? It just doesn't make sense that SiteGround would be stuck at MySQL5.7.44-48-log. If this MySQL is EOL what takes its place? Bob

>>beats23<< After I completed the update to 4.7.16 I got the following Error: Server Requirements Your server does not meet our recommendations. This may prevent you from upgrading to future versions of Invision Community. -You are running MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log. While this version is compatible, future releases of our software will --require version 8.0.13 or above. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator and ask them to resolve these issues. Bob

>>beats23<< I just started to update to 4.7.16 And found this: MySQL Requirements MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log. Recommendations None of these items are required in order to continue with the upgrade right now. However, they may affect how your community works or be required in future upgrades. You should make a note of them and contact your hosting provider or system administrator after the upgrade to address them. You can re-run these checks later from the Support section of the Administrator Control Panel. You are running MySQL version 5.7.44-48-log. While this version is compatible, we recommend version 8.0.13 or above So it seems to me we are both OK. Bob

>>beats23<< Are you using SiteGround? Bob

My cron is now running every minute. And my PHP is 8.1.27. But my MySQL is 5.7.44-48-log. SiteGround said that is the way it is for now. Where does that leave me with Invision Community software? Bob

Why am I getting the "Maintenance Task not Running"?

>>Nathan Explosion<< Yes. Version PHP 8.0.30 My PHP VERSION IS SET MANUALLY (Not sure what that means). Bob

This is the response from my Provider. SiteGround Check Thank you for contacting our Help Desk! I checked the server logs and I can confirm that the cron command is being executed every 30 minutes. Here are the server logs that confirm that: 2024-04-03 19:30:01.000827 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 20:00:01.000751 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 20:30:01.000841 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 21:00:01.000328 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 21:30:01.000456 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 22:00:01.000134 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 2024-04-03 22:30:01.000683 CMD: u1169-mijchxsppju3 /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac support@gvam1233.siteground.biz:~$ date Wed Apr 3 22:35:50 UTC 2024 I then executed the command via SSH and this is the output: baseos | home2000.com | u1169-mijchxsppju3@gvam1233.siteground.biz:~/www/home2000.com/public_html$ /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/home2000.com/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0, s-maxage=0 Expires: 0 Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Not at command line If this is not the expected result, consult with your developer and see whether the cron command needs to be adjusted.

I created a cron per the error message I got from Invision. My provider, SiteGround, says it is running, cron. Invistion says it is not. This is the error: You should set the cron to run the following command every minute: /usr/local/php80/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/customer/www/mySite/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 29eb6f039e43b68b4ae33156cb778ac2 I created the cron many months ago, second or third time. SiteGround says the cron is running. I would like to start running the site. I have had it for many years and still, I'm at the cron stage. What to do.
