Hey everyone,
Just wanted to start a new thread regarding an issue I found while helping another member with videos not processing.
The symptom was:
The member would upload a video, enter a title, description, category, click submit and give the "video added successfully" message. However the video would never get processed. Clicking it from the admin panel would give a "file not found" error.
If I looked into the flash/modules/video/files folder, I could see the following files:
1.jpg
1_small.jpg
1 (with no extension)
The member I was helping had Hostmonster as their provider, but not sure if it regards to any others. When the installation created the cron job, it displayed /ramdisk/bin/php5 at the start of the command. So for example it would look like this:
/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home/sitename/public_html/periodic/cron.php
This did not seem to work at all. Even if you changed the /ramdisk/bin/php5 to /usr/bin/php it would automatically change back to /ramdisk/bin/php5
It seems that if your host requires this type of php command, you have to specify the php.ini file along with it. I was finally able to resolve this issue by adding this command as the cron job:
* * * * * /ramdisk/bin/php5 -c /home/sitename/public_html/php.ini -q /home/sitename/public_html/periodic/cron.php
Videos processed normally after this edit.
Hope this may help anyone who may be having similar issues.
Chris
