Cronjob configuration problem

Salut,

Could be lots of different things. I'd suspect that either you don't have php-cli or that you haven't defined the siteaccess to process on the cron.

Run the runcronjob by hand from the shell (you've got several options, like -d for debug) and see what it does (or doesn't). It should be rather explicit about the problems it faces.

Hi and thanks,

I have several site running with eZp and one of them (eZ 3.2) also concern by cronjobs works perfectly (linkcheker and notification).
So I don't think its a server problem but a eZ setting issue (The runcronjobs.php script is executed but the differents scripts from the cronjobs folder not).

Where do we defined the siteaccess ?

PS : Actually, I can't access to the shell :(

I resolved the problem - runcronjobs.php will look at the standard siteaccess if you don't give it arguments in the right order.

The default ezpublish.cron shows the following example for 3.9.3:

# Instruct cron to run the "frequent" set of cronjobs
# every 15 minutes
0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php frequent -q 2>&1

So you'd naturally think that, like this example, you'd put the options toward the end, e.g:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php frequent -q -s my_site 2>&1

However, the runcronjobs script requires a particular argument order:

php runcronjobs.php --help
Usage: runcronjobs.php [OPTION]... [PART]

So the correct setup should read:

0,15,30,45 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php -q -s my_site frequent 2>&1

So, the problem is with the default ezpublish.cron.
