[MRatWork]

So, what's cron content?.

[wosabi]

wget -O - -q -t 1 http://domain.com/phpsfp/index.php/cron

Inform here 'crontab -h; yum list|grep cron'.

[wosabi]

[root@server ~]# crontab -h; yum list|grep cron

Look like crontab app not install in your server and why you found '-bash: crontab: command not found' for 'crontab -h'.

I don't have CentOS 5, but cronie and cronie-anacron exist in CentOS 6 and installed.

Inform here 'yum list cron* --showduplicates'.

[LotsOfQ]

Please help. Sorry to bring this up again. I really don't have a clue what to do at this point. I have search for answer 3 days now without any luck.

Click cron from list and then click update. It's something wrong with code but cron already in list but not create cron file.

[LotsOfQ]

What do you mean by this?

Click cron from list and then click update.

I don't see list.

[MRatWork]

Wait 1 hour and then update your Kloxo-MR 7.0 with 'yum clean all; yum update -y'.
