Hi, Mike.

Nooo, this will not work :)
Try: www.your-domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron

404 says that page is not fond... and is right as such a page don't exist.

- 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.

Your script returned the following:
Can't find ' www.MYDOMAINNAME.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron '. Check that you have the correct location.

Hi, Mike.

I fired cron manually: prntscr.com/3jdulb and as you can see it's available under url.
I add cron url in Miscellaneous field under your first post.

i have been told by my support i have to create a file to run the cron
what would be the code in the file that would run the cron job

ie i have set up a file called bump.php and the cron job will run the bump.php fine

so what code do i put inside bump.php so the job will run

Hi, Mike.

I'm sorry but this is rather your hosting issue than JomSocial.
Your hosting limits usage of cron so you have to point to a file in order to run script.
You know what url you need to run - just ask your hosting providers to prepare file for you... or ask on php forums.
