Below is a sample cron job which I setup in my bluehost hosting account. Again, the purpose of this cron job is it runs the file eb_auto_reminder.php one time everyday .

Any suggestions Tuan?
Does the auto-reminder call for the start time of the event OR 00:00 date of the event ?
Things tried:
- file is reminder.php (permissions 644 in root directory, same directory as my index.php)
- set up a test event
- ensure that I was marked as paid (I registered for my test event)
- checked my server time (-7 PST)
- set/double set time zone to account for server times (have tried - 6, -7, -
Get this Cron message each time. (set it for 5 minutes. I readjust the event start time to account for this). No email reminders.
I'm not asking you to fix the cron (which I know is right), but wondering if you might have any thoughts with this. There are so many different reasons why this occurs.
I see that the file calls index.php - the homepage. Not sure why it would be denied access.
reminder.php File script
<?php
$_REQUEST = 'com_eventbooking' ;
$_REQUEST = 'event_reminder' ;
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/index.php';
?>
Thanks

Hello there,
I'm trying to set up this cron but seems that something is missing from my end.
I downloaded in my root the file here you posted in this blog ( eb_auto_reminder.php )
The content of the file being:
<?php
$_REQUEST = 'com_eventbooking' ;
$_REQUEST = 'event_reminder' ;
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/index.php';
?>
I set up the cron in my hosting ( Godddy ) following the instruction :
/usr/local/bin/php /home/'myrootfolder'/public_html/eb_auto_reminder.php
I wonder what should I put here on the plugin settings? here on the section -- Trigger Reminder Code (Leave empty unless you are using cron job to send a reminder)
Should I also modify the script php?
Kind regards,
YPG
