SugarCRM php producing errors in SugarCRM.log

[dmorga2]

Hi all

Just had a SugarCRM system almost dumped in my lap - the only reason - because I know unix/linux a bit...

Anyway to the problem.

Have the cron.php in the crontab, but it doesn't work. Manually running it produces no errors on the command line, but the sugarCRM.log shows:-

Mon Aug 10 11:52:39 2009,928 [3012] FATAL SugarCRM - If you see a whole string of these, there is a chance someone is attacking your system.

It produces one of these responses in the log each time I try to run the crontab:-

* * * * * /home/tibemkh/public_html/sugar/cronscript.sh

The cronscript.sh contains:-

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/bin
export PATH

cd /home/tibemkh/public_html/sugar;
php -c /usr/local/lib/php.ini -f cron.php > /dev/null 2&>1
------------- EOF ---------------------

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Dave

It is possible the file cache/modules/Schedulers/pid.php is not writeable.
Figure it out and try again.

Hi all

thanks for reviewing this - and thanks andopes for the post response.

It turns out that my contact who landed me with this gave me duff info - the sugarCRM was on an old hosting company (but still live!?), and the unix shell was on the currrent hosting company - not an icicles chance in a furnace of working with that configuration.

Anyway she has re-installed the SugarCRM onto the current hosting companies machine :-) and the crontab entry now resembles the installation configuration of the shell - so we are starting to get somewhere :-)

Just have to figure out why SMTP is refusing to send emails to a valid address now.

Thanks again - I think we should close out this thread. I will raise a separate thread on SMTP/Email if needed.
