svit Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hello, When trying to set-up cron with my ISP today for the first time, I have realized that their ACP enables enter URL of the cron task only. What it means I cannot enter the unique code which is required by IPS script ..e.g. "...task.php 654354354321". Before giving up, has anyone come across similar problem, and is there any way of going around? The IPS's helpdesk say the code should be ideally triggered by the script and not as a parameter.. Thank you in advance for any advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I am a customer of all-inkl and I needed to use the web cron option. Then I added the URL to the cronjob section in the hosting control panel. What is your hosting environment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svit Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 It looks like they have their own custom made system which requires URL I can enter this "http://www.mysite.cz/applications/core/interface/task/task.php" But I cannot enter this: (which is required by IPS "http://www.mysite.cz/www/applications/core/interface/task/task.php 8439ee0b913213213993b1a62sdfd0e2e19044" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The correct URL is this: https://yoursite.com/applications/core/interface/task/web.php?key=your-cron-key-is-visible-in-the-admin-control-panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they provide something that requires a URL then you need to choose the 'Use web service' option for CRON in the ACP and use the provided URL. If you don't have the 'Use web service' then upgrade to the latest IPS version and you will then have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yep, that's what I set, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I check somewhere in the ACP that whether this is working correctly once set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 From an IPS point of view - just look at the tasks and monitor the 'Next scheduled run' column....if it is in the past, then you've got a problem. To figure out that problem, check the logs on the server (for normal CRON) or the logs on whatever web service is being used to run the cron job for you (easycron, for example) I use server CRON, and have it configured to send me emails if errors occur with running the actual cron job. If there are issues with the actual running of tasks, then the IPS logs themselves will contain errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPS 4.1.7 or 4.1.8 (not sure in what version we included it) will show a warning on your ACP Dashboard if the tasks are not running Quote From an IPS point of view - just look at the tasks and monitor the 'Next scheduled run' column....if it is in the past, then you've got a problem That's exactly what we're doing We're showing the warning if the date is in the past AND if the task is enabled (that's the most important part which you've forgotten to mention ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
