Email Campaigns only sending manually.

[twick100]

I have setup crontab and have tested to make sure crontab is working properly and it is. I tested this by added a line that writes a time and date to a text file periodically and it works as it should. However, the crontab for cron.php is either not working or it not checking campaigns to send. I'm not sure which is the problem.

I do know that campaigns can and do send when I goto the Email Queue in Admin pages and click the send emails button.

Suggestions?

Here is what in my crontab
* * * * * cd /var/www/html && /usr/bin/php -f cron.php 2>&1
* * * * * cd /var/www/html; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

If you check the job entry for sending campaign messages under Admin > Scheduler, does it show that the job attempted to run?

What happens if you run the command from the shell?

I appreciate the reply. I had not thought of trying it in the console.

When I run this (cd /var/www/html; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1) it has no output to the console so I assume it is running ok. The email still does not send, though.

I checked the scheduler admin area. What task should I be looking at?

I set the following to run as often as possible.

Run Nightly Process Bounced Campaign Emails
Run Nightly Mass Email Campaigns

EDIT : Nevermind. I had to remove the first line from the crontab and set the email schedulers to * * * * *.

NOTE : When I click the button to send emails manually they get to the right people's email boxes.

New Problem : The scheduler is working and removing emails from queue but not actually sending the emails to the recipients.
