Hi @nicolas19

This means that your cron job is not configured correctly.

From you linux server shell can you post back the output of:

crontab -l

As its not actually showing what the invalid php flag you have set is.

Or if you are happy looking your cron job should be something like the following:

*/5 * * * * php -q /var/www/html/crons/cron.php

Substitute '/var/www/html/' for whatever the path to your 'crons' folder is.
