Cron error
January 19, 2009, 05:25:30 am
Hi I'm just starting to use CiviMail, and have created my first mailing which is sitting in the scheduled mailings.

I understand I have to use Cron to get the mailings to actually go.  Do I have to configure any of the php files?

When I manually run cron using http://www.iffa.org.au/tony/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=tonyf&pass=mypassword
I get back an error as follows:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in /home/iedgg/public_html/tony/sites/all/modules/civicrm/civicrm.config.php on line 37. 

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Tony.

Tony,

Can you re-check if your server is on php 5.x, you can also try echo php_info(); and check php version.

Thanks Kurund, sorry to be so slow responding.

Using a tiny script with
<?
phpinfo();
?>
 I get a report back saying PHP version 5.2.4. 

Not sure why I had to use phpinfo() instead of what you suggested echo php_info()

Still getting same error.

Tony.

Looking at some other topics i saw that someone suggested what for me would be

http://www.iffa.org.au/tony/civicrm/mailing/queue?reset=1

and this worked to send the queued emails, so I have that as the workaround.

Could the error in manually running the cron have something to do with Civicrm being in a subdirectory?

2. Can you cut-n-paste lines 30-40 from civicrm.config.php

Thanks Lobo,

I have now put the script there where you suggest and I do get php version 5.2.4.  Check it out yourself, I'll leave it there a little while.

Here's lines 30-40 from civicrm.config.php: seems an odd selection maybe my file is weird in some way:

 *  9. $confdir/org
 *
 * 10. $confdir/default
 *
 * 11. Check the current directory so we can work with standalone installations
 */

use this line to test for junk

function conf_init() {
    global $skipConfigError;

Many thanks,
Tony.
