Invalid mass-expiry link: link is in global CBSubs settings.

I'm getting this error message when I try to force a CRON mass expiry in settings. Where would I find the global CBSubs settings that fixes this and what is the format?

The link in CBSubs > Settings > Global is what you'll use for CRON. Typically you'd use it with a wget call. See the below for examples.

Thanks but neither wget or curl works per your examples copying the URL from the CBSubs>Settings>Global section. I get the following in my email from the cPanel initiated cron job.

"Invalid mass-expiry link: link is in global CBSubs settings."

Here's the two calls I configured:
wget -O - -q -t 1 " www.marylandshallissue.org/jmain/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&do=massexpire&key= &format=raw"

curl -s " www.marylandshallissue.org/jmain/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&do=massexpire&key= &format=raw"

Tried to take out the quotes and I get what appears to be a dump of the php code. This tells me it's trying to wget or curl as I would via command line.

UPDATE:
In the cPanel CRON page, there's some instructions on running PHP scripts as follows:

"PHP command examples:

General example:
/usr/local/bin/php /home/domain/public_html/path/to/cron/script

Domain-specific example:
/usr/local/bin/ea-php56 /home/domain/domain_path/path/to/cron/script
In the above example, replace “ea-php56” with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use. Look in the MultiPHP Manager for the actual PHP version assigned to a domain."

I'm thinking this might work but need some help in parsing out the parameters for index.php for this script to run.

UPDATE 2:
I did SSH into the site and ran both wget and curl and it appears that something is happening. I also get a dump here if I leave off the quotes and get this at the end:

"[1] Done curl -s www.marylandshallissue.org/jmain/index.php?option=com_comprofiler
[2] Done task=pluginclass
[3] Done plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions
[4]- Done do=massexpire
[5]+ Done key=<some key value>"

This is telling me that index.php is running correctly and running the CB/CBSubs scripts under comprofiler. Then again I could be barking up the wrong tree but thought this might be helpful.

You need to discuss this with your host. We do not provide server configuration assistance. I've provided examples of how to do a wget or curl call from cron in my above reply. If that's not working then you'll need to contact your host to find out why.

Thanks. Is there a log that shows if the script was called and any data associated with the action (eg. how many mass expiry were flagged and which subscriptions)?

This might help me to troubleshoot.

The expiration's should be logged within CBSubs > History Log. You can also view subscriptions directly in CBSubs > Subscriptions and check their expiration dates. A subscription also doesn't truly expire until the grace period has ended if one is configured.
