CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

HI,

running civicrm 4.1.5 on wordpress 3.4.2

trying to get the cron / scheduled mailings configured and thanks to my hosting company have got the job running - but getting an error:

Warning: require_once(../civicrm.config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/m557400/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php on line 29

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '../civicrm.config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/m557400/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php on line 29

Now if I'm reading this right it wants civicrm.config.php to be in civicrm/civicrm/ and the file DOES appear to be in that directory with 0644 permissions.

Any advice?

Many thanks,
Clare.

Thanks so much for coming back to me.

I ran:

cd /home/m557400/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin; /usr/local/bin/php cron.php + PARAMS

But now get the error:

ERROR: You need to send a valid user name and password to execute this file

Could you tell me the correct syntax to pass a username/password?

I really appreciate your help as I'm under a little pressure to get out our xmas newsletter and don't want to have to revert to our old method.

Thanks!

Hi

Still no luck, I assume its the DB user name/password (used in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php) that I should be using - I've tried every variation (-u -user etc) and also changed the password as it had punctuation - just in case. So this is what I have (its running from within the control panel)

cd  /home/m557400/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin; /usr/local/bin/php cron.php -user DB_UNAME -password DB_PWORD

I've attached a screenshot of the actual setup.

Thanks....

 

Hi,

Thanks... I tried the WP admin password:

cd  /home/m557400/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin; /usr/local/bin/php cron.php -u admin -p adminpword

still getting the same error

 

firstly Hershel, thank you so much for your patience.

removing the spaces didn't work and I tried the url method, but first it gave an error about contact-7 (plugin) so  deactivated it (because if I can ever get civicrm working we won't need it) - this time no error - just a blank screen - the newsletter still says scheduled and it hasn't sent anything.

ran

http://www.mga-charity.ie/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=Clare&pass=PASSWORD&key=KEY

which was the instruction on the wiki

now having to send out the emails via the old system....  which is annoying and frustrating because civicrm looks like it could be so useful to our organisation...

thanks...

ok... I thought blank was bad 

Is the outgoing mail job enabled at  civicrm/admin/job?reset=1 ?

Its been a long long day... iI'm not sure what you mean (I'm sorry - I'm actually a programmer by background but find a lot of the manual is written assuming you already know how civicrm works and fits together...)

thank you again...

 

You are my knight in shining armour!
that cracked it!
Now al I have to do is get the unsubscribe / opt out working properly 

but I'm getting there!

Thank you so much and thanks for your patience.

Clare.
