Fellow Drupallers,
Cron isn't working.
This is the job I have set up:
17 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /home/<account_name>/public_html/cron.php
(account_name is replaced with the actual account name.)
I'm using cpanel x3 advanced pane set-up.
At 17 minutes after every hour I get the automated e-mail cron report telling me that the script was unable to access the database.
When I go to: /admin/logs/status, not surprisingly, cron has not been run.
When I navigate via a browser to: example.com/cron.php http://example.com/cron.php cron runs normally and is reported as such in /admin/logs/status.
Other cron jobs in different accounts (also Drupal installations) on the same server are working fine.
I'm running Drupal 5.7.
Thanks for the help.
