Author Topic: What Accounts Needed For Setting Up Cron Job (Read 653 times)

I read in the Civicrmbook that in setting up cron job, you need to create an account that the drupal or joomlaserer recognises.
What account are they talking about? Is it an email account or drupal role-based account? Would appreciate a clarification.

its a drupal account with enough permissions to execute various civicrm operations via cron

Thanks for the quick reply. i want to ask:
is there anywhere in civimail.cronjob.php that i need to change? i saw the following line

if (CRM_Core_BAO_MailSettings::defaultDomain() == "FIXME.ORG") {

is the fixme.org what is supposed to be there or my domain?

The code you mention is there to verify you have properly replaced the default domain name to put yours. You don't have to change anything in the code, just follow the steps from the book and you should be fine

Thank you so much Xavier. i have gotten mass mail to work using cron. But the status of those mailings is still saying Running?what could be the problem. also there are 252 intended recipients for the mail, the report says no mail have been sent but there it appears one mail have been delivered because i could see the tracking report. also some mails have been delivered to some others in full yet the status is still saying running.
