Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 6, 20222 yr I have been continuing to struggle with task maintenance for months. I tried using: -Use Cron -Use Web service both methods don't work, punctually I get the notification back in AdminCP. If I try to run the cronjob from plesk it works correctly, it does not return errors. Checking the activity dates, it seems that these have worked though.... How come I keep getting this warning?
August 7, 20222 yr Community Expert Solution Looking at your screenshot you have a suspicious autoDeleteMsg task that has never run and is not tied to any specific application/plugin either. My guess is that that task is always failing to run and is blocking everything else after it in the queue. That's why you keep getting the "tasks not running" message.

Investigating the database, the autoDeleteMSG activity is from the Chatbox application. The application was uninstalled months ago, how come the task remained? I removed the task via the database from the table: core_tasks

I removed the task via the database from the table: core_tasks You would need to ask the developer involved with that application as their uninstall methods should remove all items registered with the application. With that said, has this corrected the background tasks running?
August 7, 20222 yr Author Yes @Jim M the error notification no longer occurred currently.... So it was the chatbox activity that had not deleted itself....
