Help Please with cron set up
March 04, 2013, 02:42:27 pm
Hi All,
Can you please help me with the cron set up? My server admin is helping me set up a cron job for sending out the emails via civimail. He is not familiar with the set-up of the cron job on civicrm (and he won't learn to do that since we are hosting on the university's server and they are not supposed to support this system). I am not familiar with the cron set-up on the server side. So, I just read the documentation serveral times and am not sure I understood the instructions correctly. I asked him to run this script on the server:
Code: [Select]
$ php bin/cli.php -u myusername -p mypassword -e Job -a execute. He did, but got this output:
Code: [Select]
php /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/drupal7/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u myusername -p mypassword-e Job -a execute

Deprecated: Directive 'register_long_arrays' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0

Deprecated: Directive 'magic_quotes_gpc' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0

I have no idea what's wrong here. Can anybody PLEASE help and tell me what I did wrong there?

Thank you SO MUCH!

Donald Lobo

most likely those warnings come from your php.ini on your server. Pretty sure neither drupal nor civi uses those php directives

U'll have to modify the php.ini setting. but, those are just warning and the script probably continues executing

Thank you very much for your response, lobo! I checked the civimail "Scheduled and sent mailings", it seemed like the email DID get sent because the status is "completed". But I did not get the email. Very interesting.

So, the script I gave to my admin is correct? My civicrm version is 4.2.4 with drupal 7.16.

Thank you again!

Yes, your script is correct. As Lobo said, those are just warnings.

Does the mailer note any failed deliveries?

Thank you, Hershel. There is no any failed delivery in the log. Would that be related to the incomplete bounce processing settings? In the Mail acocunts page, I only had Name (my org name), Email domain (myorg.edu), Protocol (IMAP), and Used for (Bounce processing) filled. Should I complete the info here before it can execute correctly?

Yes, without all settings (like password etc.) the bounce processor will not work.

Hi Hershal, are the password and username the ones of the mail account, like my gmail account and the password?
Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know much about this setting and am struggling with what information I should put in which box on the Mail Accounts page even after reading the instructions several times--they are very confusing to me :(

Thank you!

Yes, you need to put in the email server, account and password for the bounce account.
