Title: moodle and cron
Post by: kwak on March 14, 2012, 04:14:18 AM

Hi,

I'm having issues with cron for moodle. I noticed that messages are not being sent out from moodle. I run the cron.php manually and it works. I followed the guide on adding the cron job in /etc/crontab, but it seems that the cron is not executing.

Please help.

Edward

If you tell us what you did, we might be able to help.

- (exactly) how do you run cron.php manually?
- (exactly) what guide did you follow on adding the cron job to /etc/crontab, and what steps did you follow?

Did you already check the /var/log/cron files for clues? Normally errors might be logged there or perhaps in /var/log/messages.

the answer is in the error message.. don't call /admin/cron.php but /admin/cli/cron.php
