Test email works, but emails are never sent
September 07, 2009, 05:02:16 am
Hello,

I'm trying to use civiMail in order to send mass emails but emails are never sent, no matter if I schedule them or send them immediately. The weird thing is that test email works! (I used the same group of people as recipients). What am I missing?

PS: I noticed that my daytime is different than the system's daytime, how can I change it?

Hum... I thought CiviCRM used drupal's cronjob, but I see that it has its own one, which I haven't configured. Unfortunately it seems that I made some mistake when configuring my cronjob in Dreamhost, since I have set up a key, and I have changed these values:

Code: [Select]
wget 'http://<site-and-civicrm-path>/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=<name>&pass=<pass>&key=<key>'
with the aproppiate ones, according to drupal's root user and password and the previously generated key placed in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php. When cronjob is executed I get the following email:

Quote
--02:45:02--  http://domain/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=<drupal user>&pass=<password>&key=<key>
          => `civimail.cronjob.php?name=<drupal user>&pass=<password>&key=<key>'
Resolving <domain>... <IP>
Connecting to <domain>|<IP>|<PORT>... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

   The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.


Any help, please?

EDIT: I found a mistake: I used a + symbol in my key, so I edited it and it's working fine now. (emails are not sent immediately, though, tey wait till the cron is executed -I assume this is the obviously expected behaviour)

This is because + in URLs means space, so if you have a + in your username/password/key, you need to URL-encode it  by using %2B in the URL instead.

Yes, this is expected.
