Hi, folks.
I’m trying to figure out with this pop3 import script isn’t working via cron, wich seems to eb the least-intrusive way of making it run.
It checks the specific mail boxes by logging in, and if a new mesage is processed for a given support department, makes the WHMCS system send out an email to the client with a new support ticket.
The ending output, attached tot he following crontab entry is what Jamie suggested I add to supress receiving over 1 thousand emails ( per five minutes) wich is WHMCS’s suggestion on how long this script should run for.
*/5 * * * * php -q /home/khinton/domains/billing.keithnet.us/public_html/pipe/poo
p.php > /dev/null 2> &1
But despite this, the script isn’t owrking.
I entered the server address as simply localhost in the departments respectively.
Should I have entered 127.0.0.1 instead?
Basicly what this boils down to is that I’m not receiving tickets during my testing process of my mail system and WHMCS at this point. A solution to my problem would be most appreciated from anyone.
It is because the script is being execute by php-cli and that doesn’t know about the iocube loader.
so your best bet is to use either curl or wget to call the script.
Personally I use CURL.
curl http://billing.keithnet.us/pipe/pop.php or wget http://billing.keithnet.us/pipe/pop.php and let the cron run every 5 minutes or so
/dev/null 2> &1 pnly means you will not see the output…e.g the output is delivered to a black hole
