Sent Mails Get Scheduled Instead of Being Sent Immediately
August 24, 2013, 03:48:21 pm
I find that mails that are sent immediately gets 'scheduled' and do appear under  Scheduled And Sent Mailings as scheduled. Even though i have set up Cron job to run every 5 minutes and i get an email that cron has just been run, yet i find that the mail dont go unless i run the cron job script through the browser. Can someone please help?

'Immediately' means when the next cron job is run, and is something of a misnomer.  It seems that you have a problem with cron which is where you should be looking.  Here's an example of the command part of my cron, which works. (I'm using Drupal 7)

wget  -O - -q   -t 1 http://www.example.co.uk/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=admin\&pass=xxxxxxxx\&key=blahblahblahblahblah

Thanks a lot Clarkac. i noticed that the wget  -O - -q   -t 1 part of the command line was missing. So i inserted it at the begining of the comand line script but it still did not work.  This is the error message i got when the cron job runs: ERROR: You need to send a valid key to execute this file. See attached screenshot to see the command line. i dont know what am doing wrong Am also using drupal 7.

I can only see the beginning of the cron command in your screenshot.  Can you paste it all into a text file (changing the pw of course)?

I notice that you're running cronmail.cronjob.php.  I'm at 4.3.5 and running cron.php as you can see from my earlier post.  I think you should be running that.

Thanks a lot Clarkac. Am using Civicrm 4.0 and what i have is civimail.cronjob.php. What can i do now. Or could it be a problem with the  server where cron is being run?

If you can, I'd suggest you upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3.  I know that 4.3.5 is pretty  solid so you should be good with that.  I first got acquainted with Civi at 4.1.6 so I have no knowledge of 4.0, sorry.
