    I get an error message when testing Authorize.net AIM.

    The log says "authorize_aim rebill can be run only with external cron"

    I do have "External Crons" set to "yes" in the Advanced configuration menu.

    Do I need to set my server to execute a particular cron job? Or is that handled by Authorize.net?

    I have tried to use Authorize.net SIM, and I get an error: "(99) This transaction cannot be accepted."


    I contacted Authorize.net support, and they said that if it is anything on their end, it is probably an incorrect Transaction Key.

    So I changed the MD5 hash, and then generated a new transaction key.

    I entered it in exactly as displayed from Authorize.net's CP.

    I still get the same errors.

    Any suggestions?

    Any answer to this one?

    I too am having this same problem. What is the resolution. I'm pretty sure I need to setup a cron job in my web host control panel...

    How do I do that?
