Hi,
Yesterday, Hostgator suspended my account because of "Your wp-cron.php file was causing major issues on the server."
I read a lot of threads about issues related to wp-cron but didn't find any real solutions. Except from the "move to an other host" one which I would prefer to avoid.
Websites :
http://www.sweepstakeslovers.com
http://www.sweepstakesmag.com
Wordpress version : 2.6.1
I upgraded to 2.6.3 to make sure I use the latest version
Error logs
A lot of those :
fatrick 29469 5.0 0.4 42672 18236 ? RN 12:52 0:00 /usr/bin/php /home/fatrick/public_html/sweepstakeslovers/wp-cron.php
Some of those :
74.52.178.130 sweepstakeslovers.fatrickchords /wp-cron.php?check=650fd334ba530be459f7531d24d2ed41
Many of those :

The support guys asked me to disable pingbacks which I did.
Then, they changed permissions on my public_html folder to 755 and told me "All should be working proper!"
Well, since then, I'm getting "500 Internal Server Error" again and again...
Some more error logs :
fatrick 18438 0.0 0.8 61132 35584 ? SN Oct23 0:02 | \_ /usr/bin/php /home/fatrick/public_html/sweepstakesmag/wp-cron.php
Last message I received from the support guys was :
This only pertains to your wp-cron.php and not our script (although the 25 process limit is our server-imposed limit). You must reconfigure, re-script, or disable wp-cron.php to fix this issue more permanently.
I tried the solution here : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/121680
I have a similar string in my "cron" from the option table.
I add this remove_action('do_pings', 'do_all_pings', 10, 1); to my theme's function.php file but nothing happened (still 500 ISE)
Can I just delete the string from the "cron" in the option table ?
I just don't know what else to do.
Any help would be really appreciated. :)
Thanks !
