Description of my issue:

Trying to set up cron job for automated backup

Have set up

/usr/local/lib/php /home/neltek/public_html/burtondemo7/cli/akeeba-backup.php

and checked with host that /usr/local/lib/php is ok

In Akeeba logs it then says:

Previous backups run from backend work fine

I'll check with my host

The only logs are Backend and Restore Point

But why does the log have entries under backend for the time the cron was set to run

?

Thanks Nicholas

Think I've sussed it

the cron line they said run was /usr/local/lib/php

have tried /usr/local/bin/php

seems to be working

Thanks again for your help

Knowing the log file should exist was just what I wanted to know

p.s. might be worth adding that into the manual under the cron section

?

:)

:)

Was just a thought

Was just dipping in to manual on this occasion for the cron bit

So hadn't then read on to logs.

No worries was just a suggestion to have a link to how to check for success :)

Now I'm gonna duck and stay off twitter whilst you throw things at me :)
