generic Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is anyone here actually using whmcs v3 with live clients and credit card processing and have successfully had more than one invoice generated from the cron at one time. reason I am asking is I am having cron issues again, trying to figure out if its my server or some bug... I had v3 working perfect with demo accounts, but only had one invoice per day generating. Figure everything was ok as i was receiving daily cron emails. Now yesterday I started adding in my live clients, and last night the cron started to run (per my logs) but only generated 1 of 2 invoices and then failed, i also did not receive the daily cron summary. Needles to say i am very frustrated. I'm sure Matt's working on my support ticket, but I was just wondering if anyone else experienced anything like this, or has an idea, or is everyone else's v3 working perfect with no issues so i should look deeper into my system and the resources the cron uses to see if thats the issue. I really want to have this up and running by the end of the month so i can drop lpanel. thanks for your ideas in advance. Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 thank you, i tried a new path for the cron to see if that makes any difference... added local into the path from: /usr/bin/php -q /home to: /usr/local/bin/php -q /home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHosts Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have /usr/bin/php -q /home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe123 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 To make sure you are using the right path just login With SSH and type "which php" and it will give you the right path , instead of guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPH Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you are getting any results from the cron run, my guess would be the path to php is right. Do you have cron set to notify you via email. I had problems with crons suddenly stopped working and ended up giving Matt ftp access whereas he went in and updated several files. I was told that a few of the files had been updated since my last download which I believe was grabbed on Feb 02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 changing the path from /usr/bin/php -q /home to: /usr/local/bin/php -q /home the cron ran successfully tonight. I did not have any invoices that needed to be created however. Tonight there are 2 payments that should be processed and one invoice to be created and well see what happens. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 well, back to the drawing board, cron stopped again tonight, it created one invoice, but would not do any charges. this is strange. hopefully matt can figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well, once again Matt was able to resolve this issue. If anyone experiences issues with vps servers at servint where their cron job fails you need to get some updated files from Matt. This appears to be a unique issue with my VPS the way I have set it up - firewall, security and all so hopefully nobody else experiences this. I am using WHMCS full time now, dumped lpane last night for good, had a nice laugh when they sent me the "why are you canceling" message last night..it was about 2 paragraphs worth of how they let us all down, doubled their price and wanted to charge for support.... I truly appreciate all the effort Matt and "his team" (someone must be impersonating him, there is no way he is on line as much as i am :wink: ) has done to make this product work for all of us. Keep up the good work and you will have us all as customers for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
