[Solved] cron doesn't handle parameters - 2007/05/23 04:44 Hi

After a HUGE amount of testing, I found that my crontab doesn't like url parameters. It is fine with http://www.domain.com/index.php, but gets stuck with ?option=com_acajoom&act=cron

Workaround:

Create the following php file
Get crontab to run the php file

This is on a custom control panel, but thought it may provide a solution or avenue of testing for other users.

php file (inside a standard HTML file structure):

<?php
include 'http://www.brilliantweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_acajoom&act=cron';
?>

Regards
Brendon

Re:[Solved] cron doesn't handle parameters - 2007/08/30 05:47 The above script didn't work for me, but this did (also enclosed in it's own php file):

Code:


 <?php
$_REQUEST['option'] = 'com_acajoom';
$_REQUEST['act'] = 'cron';
include ("index.php");
?>

I got this from: http://www.acajoom.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,26/func,view/ id,3614/catid,27/

I was also having a problem with cron [my host is Lunarpages with Cpanel], and this finally worked:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/[username]/public_html/[file with above PHP code].php

Re:[Solved] cron doesn't handle parameters - 2007/10/04 00:57 How did you find out that the cron ws not working? Did you get a report?

According to my hosting company, the cron is running (the default url) but Acajoom is not sending

The normal Acajoom sending works, but not the scheduled
