Author Topic: Cron/CLI trouble after updates to 4.2.8 (drupal 6.28, php 5.3.19) (Read 2667 times)

Since upgrading civicrm to 4.2.8 and drupal to 6.28 my cron job (scheduled through cpanel) has failed.

The command used was
cd /home/mypath/public_html; php sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u myuser -p mypass -e Job -a execute

and this gives
Fatal error: cli.php can only be run from command line. in /home/mypath/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cli.class.php on line 82

(I cannot use cron.php either, this fails with Unable to locate bootstrap.inc as reported in this previous thread
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,26579.0.html )

The cron jobs with cli were working perfectly until I made the updates from civi 4.1.6 to 4.2.8 and drupal 6.26 to 6.28.

I wondered if anyone else had found a workaround?

Thanks for your help.

I copied my php.ini into sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin. Then this worked:

wget -O - -t 1 "http://mysite/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=myuser&pass=mypass&key=mykey"

Wget was giving out of memory errors previously because (I guess) it was using /usr/lib/php.ini which specifies less memory than my own php.ini.

Civicrm/bin/cron.php will now also run in the browser - previously it could not find bootstrap.inc.

When run as a cron job using php it still cannot find bootstrap.inc
cd public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm; php -c bin/php.ini bin/cron.php name=myname pass=mypass key=mykey
