Title: Cron Error and Settings Error
Post by: brnweb on August 18, 2013, 05:41:48 pm

We are new to Centova. We have a fresh install of Centova cast on a CentOS server, and we are having trouble with 2 things:

1. We are getting the popular Cron Job error in our control panel
(Centova Cast's cron job is not running on schedule (possibly not at all). This may result in various Centova Cast problems ranging from statistics problems to licensing errors. Most often this is the result of a cron configuration error.)

We verified and we do have cron installed on our server, but do not know what to have cron do. What cron jobs need to be scheduled? How do we go about scheduling them? We looked in our log and do not see that any cron jobs have ran.

2. Secondly, we are also getting an error when we try to access Settings > Settings under the admin control panel.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class albumdatalookup in /usr/local/centovacast/system/albumds/class_AlbumDataLookup.php on line 821

What do we need to do to fix this problem?

Thanks so much for your help!

I have found that I have cron installed correctly on my CentOS server. And when I run it manually all reports back OK.

Does anyone know how to make Cron Jobs run automatically??

When I run them via SSH they run well for 8-12 hours then start popping up errors again in the admin area.

Thanks!

Hi we have the same problem and when running  /var/log/cron  i found this error:
BAD FILE MODE

This mean that the cronjob is not world writable here how to fixe this:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-cron-bad-file-mode-error/

The cronjob himself looks like:

*/5 * * * * root /etc/init.d/centovacast check >/dev/null 2>&1
15 2 * * * root /usr/local/centovacast/sbin/rotatelogs >/dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * centovacast /usr/local/centovacast/bin/ccmanage cronjob all >/dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * ccuser /usr/local/centovacast/bin/mediascan >/dev/null

Same problem here, testing Amazon integration ends up in: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class albumdatasourceuser in /usr/local/centovacast/system/albumds/class_AlbumDataSource.php on line 26

That file is encrypted so no way to fix it ouselves. Centova, please fix this ASAP!
