problem pulling bin/cron.php file
November 01, 2012, 07:26:19 am
joomla 4.2

This used to work, but seems to have stopped.

http://site.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=#username#&pass=#password#&key=#key#


When I manually enter the URL I get

ERROR: Invalid username and/or password

I have checked username and password and they are correct. I have tried new user and same.

Am hoping someone else has had this and solved it, I have tried going through the source for a couple of hours and not getting very far

thanks
You did not answer the verification questions correctly - sigh

Have found the line that fails.

..components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Utils/System/joomla.php

Code: [Select]
list($hash, $salt) = explode(':', $dbPassword);
        $cryptpass = md5($password . $salt);
        if ($hash != $cryptpass) {
          return FALSE;
        }

Not sure why it refuses to match, but have just hacked it to hardcore checking the password for the account, will do for now :)

Does your new password have any characters aside from letters and numbers?
