XF 2.2 Scheduled Jobs

[Deleted member 745]

Hi,

I'm getting this error in the index page of admin any idea why? I turned on Enable board URL canonicalization but it does nothing... Also added a image.

There are scheduled jobs outstanding which have not run. Jobs may not be getting triggered when expected.

Your cron jobs should tell you what is and what isn't getting completed.

Is you site getting activity?
How do you have your CRON jobs set to run?
ACP->Setup->Options->System & Performance-> Job Run Trigger
If you have it set at activity, and your site is not getting much activity then it's not going to run the CRON jobs regularly.
I personally have it set up to run mine via a server based trigger, and have set up a server crontab job to run once a minute.
By the same token, if you chose the server based and did not set up a server cron job to run, you will get the same error.

it's set default - Activity based trigger, will try like you have it - Server based trigger. How would I setup a cron job, if i'm using cPanel?

Haven't used cPanel in over a decade... but I think there is a location to set up cron jobs.
The cPanel support site is usually a good place to check.

Any idea what common settings I should add (see picture) as well as minutes, hour, day, month and weekday?

 

[TPerry]

You have to set it to run every minute.
How your panel controls that, I don't know since I create mine from the CLI using crontab -e.

cPanel does not let me to set my Cron Job to run every minute

I am currently trying to run this script /opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/sboxgquk/public_html/forums/applications/core/interface/task/task.php

Thankyou, every minute even on a new board?

 

[TPerry]

Yes, it needs to run every minute... new board or old board.

Contact your hosting provider. They may have it set so that you cannot create a CRON less than that.
If so, you will have to either find another hosting provider that does or see if they are willing to set up manually a CRON job for you to run every minute or modify your hosting account to allow it.
NameCheap does NOT allow CRON jobs of less than 5 minutes from my past experience with them, so I am sure other hosting providers are the same.

Any idea how to set the cron job so it send log of what scripts have run?

 

[TPerry]

You mean the XF scripts... nope, as what you are doing is running a PHP script that then interacts with XF and runs the necessary XF cron related jobs. You are simply (from my understanding) running a trigger job each minute.
