Mathy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I don't have Cron - will WHMCS run on my server anyway? If so, what features will be disabled? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mathy Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Maybe I should add that everything else on the system requirements are supported on the server. Only Cron jobs are not supported. It has DotNetPanel, which has static predefined Cron jobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tulaweb Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I don't have Cron - will WHMCS run on my server anyway? If so, what features will be disabled? Everything will work, just nothing will happen automatically. You'd just have to manually run the php file either from the command line or through http. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bear Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You might look into PHP's sleep function... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=php+sleep+function&aq=0&oq=php+sleep&aqi=g10 Possibly a way to get it automated, but I've never tried it. Why no cron, though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Cron jobs are not supported. It has DotNetPanel, which has static predefined Cron jobs. It is possible to create WHMCS cron with DotNetPanel as well. Select Website Availability cron from the Scheduled tasks option and enter full URL to cron.php file in URL to check field along with scheduling this task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mathy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Sweet! So in general, this would all work anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 norgaard Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) I don't have Cron - will WHMCS run on my server anyway? If so, what features will be disabled? It is also possible to have the Cron task run from some other server if you have some hostingaccount elsewhere where it is possible to setup cron or you might find a service like this useful: http://www.onlinecronservices.com/ Just be aware that not all hosts like "to be pinged a lot"....

0 xotj123 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 It is possible to create WHMCS cron with DotNetPanel as well. Select Website Availability cron from the Scheduled tasks option and enter full URL to cron.php file in URL to check field along with scheduling this task. Here is the php cron that I have: */5 * * * * php -q /pipe/pop.php Can you give me an idea of what the full URL would be, what do I include, and do I ignore the message settings?
