Cron Questions

[redham]

I set up the cron job in cPanel that is required by WHMCS but I have a question about it.

 

The first command:

0 9 * * * php -q /home/xxxxxx/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php

caused an error so I used the second command:

0 9 * * * GET [url]http://mmm.xxxxxx.com/whmcs//admin/cron.php[/url]

and I have a question about it. The part "whmcs//admin" above has a double "//". Is that a mistake in WHMCS or is it suppose to be there?

This is the exact way the code is in the example in WHMCS.

Hey,

 

Use the following command in your crontab

 

 

0 9 * * * GET http://www.domainhost.com/whmcs/admin/cron.php

 

and the // doesn't really matter...

That's the same cron line as in my second example above (the one I'm using) except it doesn't have the double //. I think I'll change the // to /.

I can't see why they would be there anyway.

The double // will be there because of what you entered for your system url in Config > General Config - check you didn't enter a double slash there.

Hi Matt,

 

I think it may be to do with entering a single / at the end of the URL but WHMCS adds a / as well, creating a double /

Hi Matt,

I just checked and it doesn't have the "//" except in Zttp://. However I closed the url with a "/". Example:

_ttp://mmm.domain.com/whmcs/

This caused the double // because when I just now changed it to:

Zttp://mmm.domain.com/whmcs

(no ending "/") the double // in the example cron was gone.

 

Anyway the cron is running now.

 

Thanks

P/S This rule about no World Wide Web url until I get 15 posts is keeping me from properly discribing my problem!

Soooo I used mmm.domain.com instead.

This is one lame rule.
