Fail to setup the batch file (for Scheduler)

[mrjewelchu]

Hi,

On the "Schedule List" tab page, the below instruction are shown for successfulling using the Schedulers Funtion:


To Setup Windows Scheduler
Create a batch file with the following commands:
cd C:\Program Files\SugarCRM\httpd\htdocs\SugarCRM
php.exe -f cron.php


But, I fail to excute the "php.exe -f cron.php" during testing at command prompt. Then, I found there is no "php.exe" located in this folder - "Program Files\SugarCRM\httpd\htdocs\SugarCRM". So, I think this's the reason.

Can anyone advise me to solve this problem?

OS environment:
Chinese Traditional Windows XP SP2
SugarCRM version: 4.2 beta

Hi,

try this code in your batch file;

if u use php 5.xx
@echo off
cd h:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarCRM
c:\php\php-win.exe -f cron.php

if u use php 4.xx
@echo off
cd h:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarCRM
c:\php\php.exe -f cron.php

change c:\php\ to the folder of your php-installation.

PS: php.exe is always located in the php.programm-folder
and this folder should be part of your path-environmentvariable, so u can call php.exe from everywhere.
