Hello, I'm trying to set up Use External Cron, and the aMember Manual says this about the cron.php file: "Ensure that this URL works, first try to open it from your browser. Click Commit Changes." I entered my full web address to the cron.php file, and first I got the error message, "External cron disabled in setup." So I then enabled Use External Cron in the CP and the same web address for the cron.php file just returns a completely blank page. What am I doing wrong? Apologies for my ignorance - I am new to this.
If it runs successful you will not see anything. Since this should be run via system via automated cron processing, there is no output. You can check aMember logs for errors.
What indicates cron's running successfully? I set up cron and I received the error. External cron disabled in setup So I enabled it. After that, I have not received anything. I have moodle run by cron. I receive emails from Cron Daemon with all kinds of info. So if the cron of amember runs right, we don't receive anything? I just set it up following http://manual.amember.com/Setup_a_Cron_Job . Minute = 0 Hour = * (every hour) Day = * (means every day) Month = * Weekday = * Command = /usr/bin/lynx -source http://yoursite.com/amember/cron.php I just set it up and my email run by auto-response will not come another 4 days. So I cannot tell if it is really working or not until it comes. If working correctly, I thought I should receive some kind of email from Daemon. Any suggestions? Thanks Hiro
It does not send email. it you don't get red error message about cron in aMember CP this means that cron is working right.
Thank you Thanks for your reply! I am glad to hear that it is working. I am looking forward the next message from the auto-response! Hope it comes!
