Can not send campaign emails, neither sceduled or manual, other email works

[stefanb]

I can not get the campaign email Que to send mail at all, test messages get delivered.
I upgraded to SugarCRM CE 5.5 but that did not help.

Sending the mails manually does not work either, after clicking on [Send Queued campaign emails] it seem to run for a while and end up displaying only "1111" in top of the area where the Campaign Que should be displayed and when I go back to the Que there is not even an attempt registered on any email and none have left.
I cant find any log showing what could be the problem, weeb, mail etc.

I have tried to set up the cron.php in crontab but when I run the cron.php file from command prompt this is the replay

..../crm/cron.php
..../crm/cron.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
..../crm/cron.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `'sugarEntry''
..../crm/cron.php: line 2: ` if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);'

this looks to me as an possible reason for cron not to work.

at last, my set up is:
Self contained setup SugarCRM 5.5 on an SuSE SLES 10 sp3 server runnig in an ESX virual server.

Does any one have any ideas of how to trouble shoot this problem ?

Thanks
