Cron doesnt work after update

Postby dominique » 2:32pm, Sun 01 Feb, 2015

Hi!

I'm lost since the update I made. I've updated from 2 to 3.0.11. I read the forum and the documentation, and come out this new cron job on hostmonster:
Code: Select all
php /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/index.php -p processqueue -c login=xxx password=xxx /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/config/config.php > /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/logqueue.txt


but nothing happend...
I've also try this one:
Code: Select all
USER=xxx; export USER; php /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/index.php -pprocessqueue -c /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/config/config.php > /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/logqueue.txt


same result. I've no error in the logqueue.txt, just a standard html output, but no mail was sent.

What I am doing wrong?
I can send test email, and the cron was working before the update. A lot of thx for your help.

Regards,
Dom

Your second command is correct. Can you show what has been written to the logqueue.txt file?

Re: Cron doesnt work after update

Postby duncanc » 5:01pm, Sun 01 Feb, 2015

The way that phplist runs from a cron job has changed quite a bit in phplist 3 but it doesn't seem to be working for you.

Do you mind adding a line to your admin/index.php file to try to show what is different in your php configuration? Can you add this line
Code: Select all
  var_dump($_SERVER);


so that the file then starts with
Code: Select all
<?php

@ob_start();
$er = error_reporting(0);
# check for commandline and cli version
if (!isset($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]) && PHP_SAPI != "cli") {
  var_dump($_SERVER);
  print "Warning: commandline only works well with the cli version of PHP";
}

Run the cron job again and post the output written to the log file.

It looks like the way that phplist tries to identify command line processing is not going to work in your case. That probably needs more investigation on what needs changing but as an alternative can you try this command
where xxx is "Secret for remote processing" on the Settings page
Code: Select all
USER=xxx; export USER; php /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/index.php page=processqueue secret=xxx > /home8/ACCOUNT/public_html/mailinglist/lists/admin/logqueue.txt

Seems that it start the campaign. Right?
With this job, do I need to run it each 10 minutes?

I've a host limit of 600 per hours. And seems that only 10 are sent.

That does look like the message is beiing sent.
You can see whether the campaign is being sent on the Campaigns page. There should be some numbers on how many have been sent, remaining etc.

If your limit is 600/hour then I suggest running the cron job every 10 minutes with a batch size of 100 and a throttle of 1s. phplist will then send 100 emails and then stop. The cron job will then start it again regularly.
Set the batch period to a small value, say 5s.

I just notice that it send 10 per 10, not 100.

My config:
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE",100);
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",5);
define('MAILQUEUE_THROTTLE',1);

Are the batch size overwrite somewhere? Will take days or weeks to send :D
Any idea?

The event log should have a set of events for each batch. That might provide some information on what is happening.

If that doesn't help then try increasing the frequency of the cron job and decrease the batch size.
A batch size of 10 would need the cron job to run every minute in order to send 600/hour.

I've look at the event log and I receive a lot of:
Code: Select all
Error sending email to xxx@xxx.com Could not instantiate mail function.


Now my campaign are all sent. What does it mean this error?

The error "could not instantiate ..." often happens when the rate at which phplist is sending is too high, or the "From" email address is not allowed.
