I cannot run cron.php (4.7.7) at my new host. I migrated my site to a new host and upgraded from 4.7.6 to 4.7.7 at the same time. When I run cron.php, I got this message,

"503 Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily busy, try again later!"

In the error log from the server, there was a message, "ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow or double efree detected (attacker 'IP address', file '/home/.../etousu.com/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc', line 345)

At first, I thought it's due to not running the update.php after the upgrade. But the same error happened even after I run the update.php script successfully.

Does anyone have a clue?

You may use poormanscron module.

A module which runs the Drupal cron operations without needing the cron application.

http://drupal.org/project/poormanscron

This may help you run the cron tasks.
Also I suggest that you contact the host admin and ask about cron setting.

Thanks. I will try, but really prefer to be able to run cron.php itself. I had contacted the host admin. They pointed to the error message, saying the problem was caused by the Drupal script.

Any resolution that you might point to would be great - I understand that its been close to 2 yrs...but worth a shot
