Hi,

I set up CRON using cpanel and I used the following command: 

curl http://xxxx.com/lib/cron.php

Still it's showing the same message that CRON IS NOT RUNNING.
Please help...!!

I got the following report from easycron:

Hi Majed,

It's not a command to run, but a command to put into your crontab file as per installation instructions. When you put it into the file, you do need the stars before "curl" so that the cron is executed automatically.

Cheers

Kristina

Hi Majed,

Please go to Admin menu->Admin home->Overview and check the panel "Site information". There you will see a message if the cron is not running.

You could test it manually to check any error messages. To do this try setting the productionmode in your config.php file

$cfg->productionmode = false;

Run the cron manually going to the URL http://xxxx.com/lib/cron.php and you should see the logs on your browser.

After this please remember to set back $cfg->productionmode as it was before.

If you need more help, you can paste the error you get in here so we can take a look. You can also find a bit more information about how to set up the cron in here.

Cheers,

Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,

Thank you for your reply.

I changed my configuration on config.php:

$cfg->productionmode = false;

When I run from my browser, it showed this message: 

"You do not have access to this functionality. Please provide the value for "urlsecret" from your config.php file as part of the URL"

Also I tried production mode = true, still getting the same message.

However, When I tried to execute the CRON JOB to the EASYCRON.COM, I received the following message:

When I clicked on the "VIEW OUTPUT", it provides the following message:

Hi Majed,

The "CRON is NOT RUNNING" message is displayed if the following database call returns any rows:

SELECT * FROM cron WHERE nextrun IS NULL OR nextrun < CURRENT_DATE;

If that returns any rows it probably means the cron process began but didn't finish for some reason so the next thing to check is there was a lock set for the cron process that was not cleared when process finished:

SELECT * FROM config WHERE field LIKE '\_cron%';

If there are rows returned you can see which process fails. You can safely delete them and then re-run the cron again.

After the cron runs for a while check again for locks

SELECT * FROM config WHERE field LIKE '\_cron%';

If they are appearing again check the error logs for why they are failing

Cheers

Robert

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your reply.

I couldn't understand from where could I check. Is it from config.php ? As I installed the Mahara using cpanel (shared hosting). Please could you guide me. If from config.php, what exact code may I need to write, please? Thank you so so much.

Note: I already checked in cofig.php, I haven't found anything that you've advised.

 

best regards

Majed

Hi Majed,

 

My apologies - I was meaning the 'config' table in the database. you should be able to run those database commands on your database and get some information about why your cron is saying it is not running

Cheers

Robert

Hi,

My "CRON was running". But again it's showing the same message: "CRON IS NOT RUNNING". 

I checked with easycron and it's showing succeed but I can not understand why this message's showing CRON IS NOT RUNNING.

For the reference, please see the EASYCRON result:
