I have set up the cron job in cpanel for;
/home/ccpharma/public_html/components/com_osservicesbooking/cron.php
with '755' permission and get the error message

Can you assist?

Hi,
As i see in the error log, the cron task setting seems wrong. You should contact with hosting admin and ask them the correct format of the cron task. I guest it should have something like [php] at first of command line, for example:
php /home/ccpharma/public_html....

Thanks

I added 'php ' in front of the path in cpanel's cron manager and it's working.

Thanks,

OK, great
