Cron Job is not activated by civimail
January 11, 2012, 03:42:50 am
Help!

My Mailings are always stored like "Scheduled".

I have activated cron jobs for my Joomla 1.7 site. Like: wget http://www.forstyr.dk/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=(hidden)&pass=KONTROL&key=(hidden)

And the addresses activate the Scheduled mailings.

What am I missing. How and where do I link Civimail and the Cronjobs?

Best Regards

Pelle

I don't understand your question exactly.

> How and where do I link Civimail and the Cronjobs

The way it works is you setup a cron job to execute that wget command that you posted. Then cron runs it automatically and your CiviMailers go out.

The title of your post is sort of backward--it's the cron job that activates CiviMail. :)

OK, I try again ;)

My cron job is fired and I recive a positive confirmation. But my mailing remains scheduled.

The cron job: wget http://www.forstyr.dk/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=(hidden)&pass=KONTROL&key=(hidden)

If I manually use the address without wget - send it from my browser, the mailing is completed.

Is there a logical explanation? Why is there a difference between the automatic cron job and the cron job I activate manually?

Best Regards

My working cron command, maybe you can use the basics:
Code: [Select]
wget -O - -q -t 1 --post-data='name=aaaaaaaaaaaaa&pass=bbbbbbbbbbbbbb&key=ccccccccccccccccccccccccc' http://www.domain.nl/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.phpThere are a lot more example scripts on this forum.

@Hershel
If the native language is not English, it may sometimes happen that an incorrect phrase / word is used. That happens to me too. Maybe that's why the title is a litle funny.

Thanks!

The -O - -q -t 1  " part makes the difference.

Things work now.
