Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (all about CRON)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (regarding CRON)? Yes
Joomla! version: (3.0.2)
PHP version: (5.3.22)
MySQL version: (5.5.30)
Host: (www.versio.nl)
Akeeba Backup version: (3.7.4)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:

I use the following CRON job:
/usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/jmgehdbq/domains/ewva.nl/public_html/cli/akeeba-backup.php

The part "/usr/local/bin/php -q -f" has been adviced by my provider

Regretfully I get the following error:
Warning: require_once(__DIR__/platform.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jmgehdbq/domains/ewva.nl/public_html/libraries/import.php on line 29

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '__DIR__/platform.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/jmgehdbq/domains/ewva.nl/public_html/libraries/import.php on line 29

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks!

It seems that the /usr/local/bin/php binary is PHP 5.2 but Akeeba Backup requires PHP 5.3 or later. Please ask your host. Most likely they will give you a replacement path to the PHP 5.3 binary, most likely something like /usr/local/bin/php53 or something similar (I can't know exactly, it depends on the server and where your host chose to put the binaries).
