Hi,

I need to setup a cron job but cPanel says there is an problem with cron: '/usr/bin/crontab permissions are wrong. Please set to 4755 '

Can you please chmod /usr/bin/crontab to 4755 on the alpha server?

Thanks in advance.

SSH as root and then:
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab

If you continue having problems in your Cpanel with cron, I'd suggest another route.  Cron syntax is just plain painful to understand and get right.  Not to mention dealing with the paths, errors, and email configuration for cron notifications.

There are really great online cron replacement services out there that allow you to run free cron jobs.  If you're looking to cron job PHP scripts, the easy and reliable way to do it is through Cronless.Com.
