Cron WHMCS 6.x

[erwin123]

I upgraded my WHMCS to 6.1 and ever since I receive each morning an email:

 

-------------

This cron file was invoked from a legacy filepath.

WHMCS currently provides backwards compatibility for legacy paths so that your scheduled cron tasks will continue to invoke a valid WHMCS cron file.

It is recommended however that you update the cron task command on your server at your earliest convenience.

For more information, please refer to

http://docs.whmcs.com/Cron_Tasks#Legacy_Cron_File_Locations

------------

 

I've read the documentation but still its not quite clear what it is about and what changed.

Is it about moving my current crons to a new location?

Are old cron files replaced by new cronfiles on a new location?

 

Sorry, must be because I'm not native english or because I'm just slow

 

My current crons:

 

-----------------

Once a day php -q /path/site/cron.php

every five hours php -q /path/site/crons/domainsync.php

every two minutes php -q /path/site/pop.php

----------------

 

The automation settings tell me to add a cron:

php -q /path/site/crons/cron.php

 

Now what do I need to change exactly?

Just add this single cron?

Or remove other crons?

Move crons to a different location?

 

Thanks in advance!

I know its probably a stupid question, bu t I still hope someone can answer it.

Its not clear to me what needs to be done to the cron after the update...

what was the previous version?

since WHMCS v6 all cron related files can be find inside the same folder "crons" instead of the "admin" folder, you can move this folder to any path and link it with your WHMCS from configuration.php, and you will need to replace the old cron job commands to use the new path of (cron.php, pop.php, domainsync.php, etc).

Thanks, thats clear.

Same files just different location.
