I have to setup a cronjob but for now i am sending the generated emails manually. But this results in a loop and after refreshing the page i am on the frontpage instead of the backend...

I have no idea how to set up a cronjob...

added info:

When running the cronjob as suggested in the Jomsocial documentation the appache process handeling the job uses 100% CPU time and it takes minutes to finish.
Nothing appears in the error log.

Hi, Patrick.

Then I'm not sure - you set up cron job or not?
Where you host your site?
Did you try Free Online Cron Scheduler?

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Not yet.
We are just calling it thrue a browser.
Unles wget URL does something else than calling an url in a browser it should not make any difference (i think)

Hi, Patrick.

Ok, you can manually run this heerlijktafelen.nl/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron but at least try to set up a cron job. This doc does not really help: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Setting_Up_Cron_Job ??

The problem is not that we don't know how te setup the cronjob.

The problem is that the server goes nose down when the cronjob is ran.
The apache process handling the cronjob uses 100% CPU for a few minutes and then it seems nothing has happened.

Hi, Patrick.

I'm sorry, but in first post you said "I have no idea how to set up a cronjob... " so I was suggested by this words.

So the problem is that when server run cron job it uses 100% CPU but when you trigger heerlijktafelen.nl/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron via browser its ok?

Do you host your site on CentOS?

Hi, Patrick.

OK, you can call it via browser, but point is that it is done automatically from time to time.
If your server has problem with that (for some reason) then check external cron services.
