Cron job setup trouble

General Discussion

Hi,

I generated a cron-key and handmade the following folder:
https://facturatie.wesaca.com/invoices/cron/recur/CRON-KEY
This folder has 755 permissions. If I browse to this folder, I get a 404 error.
After this I made a recurring invoice and added a cronjob according the manual.
Still I does not work. Anyone any tips?

It still does not work unfortunately.
I am a little confused. Do I make a file (cron key) in the invoices/cron/recur folder or do I make a folder named (cron key)? I tried both, setup recurring invoices (and the show up in the recurring invoices report) and made the cron job. Still no luck…

This has the steps you need to take.

As a summary.

  • You need to create a key which you then keep a safe copy of. There is no need to save this onto a file. You decide the best way to remember the key. It will serve like a type of password (since you do not have to log in to use cron jobs).
  • You must then call the URL from your scheduling tool. This URL must include your key to tell the server this is a legitimate request.

The format of the URL is https://facturatie.wesaca.com/invoices/cron/recur/CRON-KEY (where we enter the key you created in the URL).

hi. I have the same problem. Hopefully someone can help.

This is my cron link https://preyes.net/ip/invoices/cron/recur/cronkey

I get a 404. Unlike yours which has Wrong cron key!
Not sure if there is a problem with the setting or have missed out something

You main site url is https://preyes.net/ip/index.php

Therefore your cron site url must be

https://preyes.net/ip/index.php/invoices/cron/recur/cronkey
