Cron setup not working
October 17, 2011, 06:48:10 am
Trying to setup cron and troubleshoot why it's not working.

From the root civicrm directory, running this command:

php bin/UpdateMembershipRecord.php -smoln.org -ucdm_service -p<hidden>

Produces this result: <br />Sorry, unrecognized username or password.

I've logged in successfully as that user (cdm_service) with the same credentials, given that user the admin role in Drupal, added that user to the Administrators group in CiviCRM and still I get this.

Any thoughts on why?

Hi,

Does it work for the civimail crons? view the source of UpdateMembership, might be that the syntax is a bit different than the -ulogin -ppass.

Various crons had different format for the params. this is on the way of being unified and standardised (for the next version I think).

Check out the

Same result if I try it with civimail.cronjob.php.

Still not working. If I run the script as the actual admin user, it completes successfully. But it complains if I run it as this other user that I've given an administrator role in Drupal. I've reset the password. No luck. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Think I've figured it out. It didn't like the password string I was using. Most likely it was the $ character in the string as the other characters were all numbers or letters.
