Are there any unusual characters (i.e. aside from letters and number) in the username or password? That can cause the URL not to work.

Any other ideas? Or ideas as to how I might work out what's causing the problem?

Here's my full set of steps in case I'm missing something obvious:

1. I opened [FTP_SITEROOT]/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php
and set
define( 'CIVICRM_SITE_KEY', 't3mppa55w0rd' );

2. I logged into the wordpress admin area and created a new administrator user called civiuser with password t3mppa55w0rd

3. I logged out and logged back in as civiuser, clicked on civicrm > mailings > new mailing, created a new mailing job and sent immediately.

4. Nothing happens

5. I direct my browser to
http://[SITE_ROOT]/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=civiuser&pass=t3mppa55w0rd&key=t3mppa55w0rd
and get the error
ERROR: Invalid username and/or password

6. I log back in to WP as civiuser, click on civicrm >administer > system settings > scheduled jobs, find "Send Scheduled Mailings", click more and execute now.

7. The job is exectued satisfactorily with the following log entry:

2013-05-13 10:40:35   Send Scheduled Mailings   
0
Summary
Finished execution of Send Scheduled Mailings with result: Success (a:0:{})

I wondered if it was a problem with permissions on cron.php but setting them at 777 and trying the url activation just resulted in a 500 error rather than an invalid username and/or password error.

Help!

can u ensure that civiuser has all mailing and contact related civicrm permissions

lobo

after a little digging around I went to:
CiviCRM » Manage ACLs » Access Control » Assign Users to Roles
And checked:
ACL Role      Assigned to   Enabled
Administrator   Administrators    Yes

I also went to:
CiviCRM » Administer CiviCRM » Synchronize Users to Contacts
and made sure civiuser was imported to the CiviCRM database.

Finally I edited the civiuser contact and assigned it to the group "Administrators"

Still the same result.

Thanks Lobo.

How do I do that?

In CiviCRM » Administer CiviCRM » Access Control » Wordpress Access Control it says "NOTE: Super Admin and Administrator roles will have all permissions in CiviCRM." and civiuser is an "administrator" within Wordpress and in CiviCRM is in the group "Administrators". Is there somewhere I need to explicitly set these permissions?
