CiviMail cronjob returns 404 error
December 20, 2010, 01:19:00 am
Guys,

I am getting this error message back from the CiviMail cron job when running it on my GoDaddy host:

Status: 404 Not Found
Content-type: text/html

No input file specified.

My command to call the job is
 /web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=adminuser&pass=password&key=sitekey"

Can any tell me how to correct this issue or provide a solution?

Does the directory $HOME/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/ exist? That is a Drupal style directory but your profile says you use Joomla. Which are you using?

Ah, I missed that. 
I'm using Joomla and I believe the path should be $HOME/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php

I'm making the change now.  Thank you.

I changed to the correct Joomla directory structure and I can locate the file, "civimail.cronjob.php".  Upon updating, afterwards I received the following error message:

Cron <sisteradmin@p3slhssl06> /web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/snsha/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php"

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=gl8b74e9d3mges27qqdag9kdn3; path=/

Pragma: no-cache
Content-type: text/html

ERROR: You need to send a valid user name and password to execute this file

===============

Resultingly, I added the user name and password, using the following syntax however, now I'm back to the following error:

Cron <sisteradmin@p3slhssl06> /web/cgi-bin/php5 "$HOME/html/snsha/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=XXXXX&pass=XXXXXX&key=xN~!kpQwxm3cM1hTMV4aB09iO6"

Status: 404 Not Found
Content-type: text/html

No input file specified.


Once again I am using the GoDaddy Cron Manager in the Hosting Control Center, so it should only be a question of locating the "civimail.cronjob.php" and adding the validation string.   At least that's what I am assuming.

Is this a syntax problem?  Or something else that I am missing?

I, too, am seeing this exact same error.

If I follow GoDaddy's instructions for submitting a cron job, there are no parameters on the command line and I get:
   ERROR: You need to send a valid user name and password to execute this file

Given that the cron job is a php script, if I add "?name=XXXXXXXX&pass=YYYYYYYY" I get:

   Status: 404 Not Found
   Content-type: text/html
   No input file specified.

Is there another way to pass parameters to the CiviMail cron job?

See here for two methods of sending the parameters:
