CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have enabled CiviMail 1.9x on my Joomla 1.0.13 instance, and CAN send test messages, but CAN'T seem to get the Cron to fire.

I've been trolling the boards and Wiki, and the doc and even the error message seem Drupal focussed.

I get "Could not find valid configuration dir, best guess: /home/BLAH/public_html/com_civicrm/civicrm/../../sites" - which looks like Drupalese, when I try to run the

http://domainname/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=Joomlauser&pass=JoomlaUserPassword

That pathing /com_civicrm is created by following the install instructions for Joomla.  It seems that the bulk of the component stays outside of the Joomla directory structure.

I have enabled SMTP authentication, and have done so before for another domain on this server that runs SugarCRM, so I am familiar with that process, too.

I need some more clues, please...or to know that CiviMail/Joomla is not a supported configuration, and that I should use CiviSMTP if that applies, or something.

Thanks,
Ken
