Hi All,

I'm having issues setting up my Civimail cron (as with many others   )  I'm using Joomla 2.5.  Most of the issues/fixes on here (including the documentation in the book) outline the cli process for Drupal but not for Joomla.  I would like to be able to configure CiviMail to use the PHP cli if possible but it is not immediately clear from the docs if this is possible or what params I need to set. I also do not currently have permission to execute wget.

So, I can trigger my mailings manually from the browser with no issues.  However, if I run the following command from the command line, I get the following output:

/usr/local/bin/php /home/ploc2012/domains/ploc.ews.net.nz/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php -sdefault -ucrmuser -pcrmpass

Warning: require_once(bin/cli.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ploc2012/domains/ploc.ews.net.nz/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php on line 106

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'bin/cli.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ploc2012/domains/ploc.ews.net.nz/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php on line 106

All my file/folder perms are 777 at the moment (for testing).  Where is this likely going wrong.

Any help to begin troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Yes I have the same problem.  i go to this doc
wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs

which suggests all the old .php are deprecated and we should use cli.php which will execute all or individual scripts. 

only trouble is it doesn't.  the doc says that cli.php will execute everything set up in "Administer > System Settings > Scheduled Jobs" - which doesn't exist in Joomla 2.5 with civicrm 4.0.1.  perhaps this is the problem.

i can get the mail sent out using
<site>/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/mailing/queue&reset=1"

which was suggested here

Doh *facepalm*  Never thought to cd into the dir before executing the script.

Thanks Lobo
