Cron Job error - Directory not found

Hi Guys,

Could someone please assist me withe setting up the cron job for automated invoices.

I have successfully installed Invoice Plane and it is working correctly, however when setting up the cron job i have used the following : http://mydomain/invoices/cron/recur/mycronkey

When the cron job runs however, i get the following error :
Sorry, error I get is /bin/sh: http://myowndomain/invoices/cron/recur/cronkeyhere: No such file or directory

I have installed this on a subdomain. ie billing.mydomain.co.za

Please help :slight_smile:

Do you successfully use the app without “index.php” in the URL?

Hi Kovah,

Yes. I access Invoice Plane at billing.mydomain.co.za . Works correctly. (setup has been completed and I am actively using the system)

I am only picking up the error with the cron job .
/bin/sh: http://myowndomain/invoices/cron/recur/cronkeyhere:

directory not found

Hi Kovah,

any ideas?

What does your cron job looks like? It should look like this:

0 1 * * * wget http://YOURDOMAIN/invoices/cron/recur/CRONKEY

This cron runs the recurring invoices script every day at 0:01.

Hi Kovah,

My Cronjob is as follows :

http://MYDOMAIN/invoices/cron/recur/CRONKEY

It runs successfully, however i get the following email stating it cannot find the directory.

Dear User,

We’re sorry to inform you that we are encountering a problem when trying to access the following URL:

http://MYDOMAIN/invoices/cron/recur/CRONKEY

The error we get is

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

I cant figure out why

But when you open the URL in your browser its working?

Yes,

I access billing.dsldirect.co.za and it works fine.

No I mean when you access billing.dsldirect.co.za/invoices/cron/recur/CRONKEY? Then you should simply get a white page…

Hi Kovah,

Yes, when i access http://billing.dsldirect.co.za/invoices/cron/recur/CRONKEY I get a blank white page.

Hi Kovah,

I have identified the issue. For some reason, the cron key has changed. I have now managed to test and the cronjob is working successfully.

Thank you for your assistance.

Don
