CiviCRM installation guide says that cron via cli should be like this:

php /path/to/civicrm/bin/cli.php -s site -u user -p password -e Job -a execute
What heck the [-s site] would be? My site is biokutatas.hu, and it has a site key too. What supposed to write to the [site] section?
My cron code is:

Code: [Select]

php -q -f /home/.../com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -s biokutatas.hu -u [superusername] -p [password] -e Job -a executeAll I can get is an error message:

Code: [Select]

require_once ('cli.class.php');
$cli = new civicrm_Cli();
$cli->initialize() || die( 'Died during initialization' );
$cli->callApi() || die( 'Died during callApi' );

How can I get this to work?

Hi Lazlo,

i'm not familiar with joomla, but the site is the way for drupal to distinguish between multiple sites sharing the same code base. Have you tried without the -s param?

What error message do you get? you put php code, not the exact error message. does it mean you get php code displayed as a result of running the command?

Well, I've left out the -s switch, now I get a different error message from the Cpanel cron running email notification:

Code: [Select]

Can you write the exact line you tried?
it looks like a php command line got confused on something.

Also, do you have access from the command line (ssh?) it will be much easier for you to test and weed out some type of errors (the environment when you run from cron is slightly different than from the command line

My hands are tied. I have only a Cpanel with a cli based cron, without any url based cron. The cron via url is working perfectly if I call it from the browser - maybe I'll end with an easycron subcription.

Have you tried using

Code: [Select]

wget "URL"
from CLI?

Lazlo Bakk · January 22, 2015, 08:39:52 am

I type:

Code: [Select]

wget http://biokutatas.hu/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name.....This is what I get:

Code: [Select]

Resolving biokutatas.hu... 5.56.33.1
Connecting to biokutatas.hu|5.56.33.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Authorization Required
