Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am near the end of installation and I am ready to setup the cron job and email piping.

 

I am a little lost though. I am running Plesk 8.1

 

1. Regarding Cron Job: What values do I put in the following?

 

Minute

Hour

Day of Month

Month

Day of the Week

 

2. Regarding Email Piping: Where do I place/apply the following supplied line?

 

| php -q /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/clients/pipe/pipe.php

 

Thanks for any info,

Rob

Won't these values clash with the values at the beginning of the supplied line: 0 9 * * * php -q /var/www/vhosts/ozmotion.com/httpdocs/clients/admin/cron.php

This is only for CPanel. I'm using Plesk 8.1

 

Thanks again

Hi Ozmo,

 

For the cron job you should set it up as follows:

 

Minute 0

Hour 9

Day of Month *

Month *

Day of the Week *

 

Even in cPanel people have to do this. Those numbers aren't part of the command.

 

Then for the command, you put the remaining code: php -q /var/www/vhosts/ozmotion.com/httpdocs/clients/admin/cron.php

It might be for cPanel but the idea is the same.. Its just about finding inside plesk where the Forward for emails is..

 

Plesk does not have any mail Forwarding option. It does have redirect but their is nowhere to add any script at all.

 

Nothing shows up anywhere in Google on the subject except others wondering how it is achieved. There is not even a mention of Email Piping anywhere on the SWSoft site or in the Plesk manual.

 

So I think I'm pretty much screwed. :(

No, Plesk does allow email piping. It has to be setup in the .qmail file. However, if you don't have access or can't do that, then you can just use the POP importing feature of WHMCS. Either way, it is possible to get email piping working Plesk.
