WHMCS CEO Matt Posted November 27, 2006 WHMCS CEO Share Posted November 27, 2006 1. Subject: Cron <******@server1> GET http://www.*********.com/clients/admin/cron.php <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>An Error Occurred</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <H1>An Error Occurred</H1> 500 read timeout </BODY> </HTML> Not sure what that error is but its not an error from WHMCS. Must be a server issue. 4. I have ben receiving this email every 4 hoursWHMCS Cron Job Activity Every 4 hours? You should set the cron command up to be run once per day and once only. Running it more than this is not recommended. I am a little cofused why I was getting an error message "1." hourly but still receiving the WHMCS Cron Job Activity report daily. While just running one cron. If you get an hourly error, you must have the cron setup to run hourly or another cron setup somewhere producing an error. The command you showed above would mean the WHMCS cron only runs once per day at 9am. You will receive the WHMCS Cron Job Activity email everytime the cron runs successfully. Therefore, there must be some other cron command causing the other errors you get. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thanks for taking a look Matt The new cron settings are working fine. I had set the old cron to run every hour to make sure it was working and forgot to change it. The error message from running GET http://www.**********.com/clients/admin/cron.php was the only WHMCS cron running. I did change mail type from php to smtp maybe that was the cause. Bottom line it works now. Thanks Kirk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
