Cron not working

    The link for the cron (MailPoet > Settings > Advanced > Geeky Options > Enable MailPoet’s Cron) does not work on one site. When I click on it, the connection times out and I get an error message. (I know what it should do because I’ve duplicated the site on another host and when I click on the link there, it reports that “MailPoet’s cron is ready….”). How can I get this link to work? Thanks!

    When I click on the link beside “Enable MailPoet’s Cron,” I get this error:

    The connection has timed out

The server at mysite2.org is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    When I set up a cron job using the same string, I get an email saying:
    Could not open input file: /home/myusername/public_html/wordpress/wp-cron.php?19fa0a72e8c315aaaeb26c7e309640bd

    mysite2 is an add-on domain for my hosting plan. I’ve also tried using my primary domain with the complete path to wp-cron.php with the same reults. The other cron jobs I’ve set up for mysite2.org are working as expected.

    Thanks,
    Tim
