Setup Cronjob on Joomla
September 15, 2012, 11:42:21 am
Hi... I'm really sorry. Maybe it could be funny but I cannot understand what I have to do for setting up Cronjob.

I read:http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/CiviMail+Installation

It talks about 2 ways.... but I cannot understand exactly which they are.

From a Control Panel

    Open up the Crontab in your control panel
    Select the frequency with which you want this cron job to run
    Replace the '[siteroot]', 'name' 'pass', and 'key'  with the information from your site:

 
Joomla: wget -O - -q -t 1 'http://[SITEROOT]/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=username&pass=password&key=site-key'
 
Drupal: wget -O - -q -t 1 'http://[SITEROOT]/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=username&pass=password&key=site-key'
 
Wordpress: wget -O - -q -t 1 'http://[SITEROOT]/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm//bin/cron.php?name=username&pass=password&key=site-key'

Where is the Crontab to set up it?
Is it enough?

Thanks
Walter

Crontab is a Linux tool, it's not part of your website. Some hosts call it "Cron jobs" but anyhow you will find a way to set this up via your hosting Control Panel. Or if you have ssh access, you can do it there.

Presuming your server is Linux, that is. :)
