Chainging the Site Key
January 18, 2010, 07:18:40 am
On trying to run a cron job I got this an error that caused me to think I couldn't use a site key with special characters (ie, ]^;).
After changing the special characters to x in civicrm.settings.php and in the cron files I still got this error:
"You need to send a valid key to execute this file"

I'm wondering if I need to change the key somewhere else in civiCRM as well?
Thanks to those who help create and enhance civiCRM!

Where have you set it so far?

Each file that you call with cron job needs the key added, and there are several in the folder, and every time you update CiviCRM (e.g. if you're using the various betas being release at the moment) you have to re-edit the files as they get overwritten.

As far as I am aware, there is no simple configuration within CiviCRM to change this and keep the change when upgrading from one release to the next etc. -

Well the problem turned out to be lack of quotation marks in the cron file.

I changed civicrm.settings.php
And then the other civicrm.settings.php
(Joomla has two of these files, one in the administrator directory and one in the components directory)

And the two cron job files.

There are only two files (mail processor and mail send) that I'm calling with cron jobs.
