Hello,
To summarize the problem so far: When you run the cron job, your apache server crashes. If your server is very low on resources, then this could be expected, but otherwise the cause can be something else.
1. If apache crashes, there must be some error written out to the apache logs. Can you check? It’s probably in /var/log/apache2/error.log, but your system might be different.
2. Which coin adapter or adapters are you using?
3. If there is more info in your logs after running a cron job, could you please send me the complete logs to my email?
4. Are you still getting timeout errors (524?)
Let me know please. thank you
with regards
