Cron Job problems in 3.8.1

[KingJ]

Did you try this and if so did it resolve the issue for you?

 

I don't think it fixed it immediately, so this might not of been the fix for my specific problem.

Hello,

when will this issue be solved? Any1? We have the same also:

The cronjob does seem to run because invoices are generated, but I do not get the email every morning anymore.

[ronny]

Still no emails today from cron.

So what's the issue here? Before telling people to up their memory/execution limits - I really do advise everyone to actually goto their cron via a browser (aka http://www.mydomain.com/whmcs/admin/cron.php) and making sure it does error out.

 

It doesn't on my system.

 

I even created a "stub" php file called cron_starter.php with

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');

require ('cron.php');

in it - to obviously increase memory and execution time (this is just another way of doing it if you don't have access to change settings via .htaccess in places of SuPHP etc) - same thing. File finished doing what it was doing, but no cron email.

 

Email IS working on the system. Support tickets still generate, and I sent myself multiple test emails like client reminder details etc.

 

Still no one knows this solution? This didn't happen for me until 3.8.2.

 

Opening a ticket.....

Strange - but works for me.

 

After contacting Andrew from WHMCS (thanks for putting up with me) - this was strangely the conclusion.

 

We use configserver firewall on our servers (cause it's awesome). Anyway, for whatever reason, restarting the firewall was not enough to fix the issue of not being able to connect to other servers. (Starting creating accounts for other servers and it didn't work).

 

Anyway, disabling the firewall, and then reactivating the firewall (not just restarting it) fixed the issue. So maybe something was not restarting properly or... who cares - works for me I'm happy.

#Disable CSF
csf -x
#Enable CSF
csf -e

 

Very happy again.

darren -

 

I'm running csf as well and tried your suggestion to no avail. Havent had the WHMCS cron run for months.

 

On the other hand, the NE1 Expiry Date Syncronisation cron job runs every week; just as I have it setup to do.

I am also experiencing sporadic inconsistencies characterised typically by either late or non-existent cron reports and this also started with 3.8x.

I have 3.8.1 and I had this same problem. I noticed that one of my Plesk servers in the Configuration -> Servers had lost it's IP addr, and login info (maybe since I've added another server in the list a few weeks ago, which is when the Cron job emails stopped), so, I re-entered the login info and the Cron job runs fine now.
