video not up loading

am running 7.0 and when i up load a video it will not play,, is this the right cron job for videos

cd /home/hardtime/public_html/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

Question time!

1. What exactly is happening (describe the error)?
   • Are you just getting a black screen?
2. Who is your hosting provider?

That's all.

arvixe is the host

if i up load a video i have to go and rename the video from 1 to 1.flv for me to see it but the to play it i get nothing

It would seem the video isn't processing, then. Make sure your cron job is properly configured. Also make sure your file and directory permissions are in order. For Arvixe, it's:

• Files: 644
• Directories: 755
• /inc/: 555
• ffmpeg.exe: 755

You should be getting emails from the cron daemon when your cron job runs. Are you?

You may also want to try changing your cron command to look like this:

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/hardtime/public_html/periodic/cron.php

Not all servers will work with the default command.

where would i find   directories and which inc and files

• Files: 644
• Directories: 755
• /inc/: 555
• ffmpeg.exe: 755

is it in

/public_html/flash/modules/video

I am referring to your entire installation of Dolphin.

ok i set the

/public_html/inc/ to 555 is this right

and i set the

/public_html/flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg to 755 is this right

Sí.

si what?

It's "yes" in Spanish.

ok what would i need to do now

now if i upload a video i get no picture and if i try to play the video i get   error no file found

Are you getting an email from the cron daemon?

5000 of them

/bin/sh: /home/hardtime/public_html/periodic: is a directory
Could not open input file: cron.php

/bin/sh: /home/hardtime/public_html/periodic: is a directory

Try one of the different cron job inputs in this topic: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/Troubleshooting-Crons-Videos-Migrations-RMS.htm.

is that link good? its not coming up

That link is good.. You need to see my previous post, but that link will explain better...Thanks Magnussoft.

There's a bug that causes links to stop working correctly depending on how you access the topic. Just copy the link's text and paste it into your browser's address bar.

i did that not working

Then just go to the Dolphin 7 Forums area. Its a sticky post at the very top called:

Troubleshooting - Crons, Videos, Migrations, RMS

And click on it from there.

does arvixe support not assist you with something like this?

they are the premier hosting service according to the adverts on this site, surely Arvand can assist with a cron job issue? or do they actually support dolphin?

I've come to realize in the past few days that they prefer dumping everything onto "it's an issue with your script, not us." They do this even for database connection issues and killed cron jobs.
