Hello,

Awhile back, I set up a couple of "Mailers" in the Mailer function of CBSubs.

When I go to "automation settings", I find the URL's needed to trigger the mailer for sending out mails. When I click on those links in my browser, they work perfectly fine.

Then I tried to set up a cronjob, like this:

20 * * * * php /opt/www/[part of path redacted by me for security purposes]/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=pluginclass&plugin=cbpaidsubscriptions&cbpact=cbsubsclass&cbpclass=mailer&user=62&cbpmailerdo=sendmailqueue&key=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&format=raw

This is the same way in which I have set up other cronjobs as well (though with other time intervals) and they all work fine, but the ones for the Mailer don't do anything at all. Nothing happens, no mails are being sent out until I open it manually in my browser again.

Have I done something wrong with the way my crontab is set up?

Thanks!

Issue with your sites CRON, you're not reaching CBSubs. Please contact your host for help setting up CRON. If direct access works then the URL is working perfectly fine.

The problem has been resolved. The manner in which the cron job was supposed to be configured was different, because a regular PHP cronjob command does not work with arguments like &this=1&that=2. That's only HTTP-protocol.

So I set up a cronjob with this command:


and now it works! Problem solved :)

Our security is probably not going to allow it. It's ok though, glad you were able to resolve your issue!
