Support

Hello,
Thank you for such a useful product and for building usable documentation for it.
I have noticed that some of my cron jobs have stopped working after installing admintools pro. I'm not sure if this is part of the htaccess setup or not.
Akeeba backup jobs are still running, but this job no longer runs:

wget -O /dev/null "http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron"

Here is the server error log:

Could this have to do with admintools? (I didn't install anything else recently and the crons stopped working after admin tools)

Thank you,
Ari

Ari,

I can give you an unqualified maybe. In .htaccess Maker, make sure that "wget' is not in your list of user agents to block. If it is, delete it and regenerate your .htaccess file.

Admin Tools should not block access to the index.php file, but any other php file would need a special exemption in the .htaccess file.

Sir, thank you for the prompt reply.
Spot on. Indeed, Wget is listed in the blocked user agents. I had used the default list as suggested by the akeeba site:

I have removed wget and will see if this makes a difference.
Thank you,
Ari

It is in the default list because it is a very powerful program, if you don't use it, it is good to keep anybody else from using it. If you need it, you just have to remove it from the list.
