Hi All,

I finally got around to upgrading to 3.4. But now the UpdateMemberShipRecords.php cron task says it has an invalid key.
This is not the case. No matter what key I use I always get an invalid key.

This is obviously causing head aches as we cannot update memberships that have expired.

If I run the update script from the console I get -- Usage: Please define CIVICRM_CONFDIR in settings_location.php at the top level civicrm directory --

But alas I connot seem to find a settings_location.php file with CIVICRM_CONFDIR inside it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Don't mix different issues in the same thread, the click and the cli issue are unlikely linked, start a new thread.

For the cli:

you don't need to provide the key anymore, just be sure it's defined and long enough in your civicrm.setting (should be).

You can either apply this patch (or wait until it gets approved)
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8851

or you need to create a file named 'settings_location.php' in the top-level directory of your CiviCRM codebase as follows:

<?php
// the following (/home/lobo/public_html/drupal/sites/)
// should be changed to your sites directory
define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/home/lobo/public_html/drupal/sites/' );



No dice.

I have defined a 'settings_location.php' but unfortunately I have now gone full circle and I'm getting a invalid key error again.

The invalid key comes after running --
   php bin/UpdateMembershipRecord.php -u cron -p password -s default

Which as I understand should not happen anymore after defining a user and pssword?

Thanks.

The Key definitely defined in the sites/default/civicrm.settings.php file

upgraded to civicrm 3.4.5
