I have created a cron job as
/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/nuzwebmaster1/public_html/moodle/admin/cli/cron.php
to run every 30 minutes.
But the Notifications page still shows
The cron.php maintenance script has not been run for at least 24 hours.
I also tried executing cron.php maintenance script from browser. But it displayed nothing.
What am I missing?
AAaaaah...Finally! Figured the solution by myself.
Thanks to Marina Glancy.
I have seen several threads with similar problem. This may help a lot of moodlers, especially godaddy hosting users.
There has been a bug in godaddy provided moodle package. This was reported in Tracker at MDL-58890
clilib.php parse error is preventing cron.php from executing. You have to modify line 195 of clilib.php. It has an unexpected "." in the line die(." ".$text); which prevents cron.php from executing. Changing the line to die($text); allows cron.php to execute.
