Hello Alaina,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. i just tested your site's subscriptions and it is working fine. i can see the site subscription and also 2 of your subscription under categories. Please note that we have a filtering system so you will have to switch the filter to category to view category subscription. As for emails not sending out. I suspect that you do not have a cronjob setup as the emails are created but not sent. Please do so according to this guide

http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/how-tos/setting-up-cronjobs-in-cpanel.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Hi Adelene,

I don't have a Cpanel set up for this server. Is there any other way to send these emails? I also have your component installed on another site and have not needed to use a Cronjob to send emails.

Thanks for your response!

Hello Alaina,

You can manually run the cron task by accessing this URL: http://test2.newhavenmagnetschools.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron. This will manually execute the cron task. You can also turn on this option: http://screencast.com/t/zhC7FjZ0z . With this option turned on, everytime youe page is loaded, it will execute the cron task. But this is not recommended since it most probably will send multiple emails. Hope this helps.

Hi Nick,

What does my server need to turn on to execute these email sends automatically? i.e. without a cron and without me turning on "Send emails on page load."

Does a port need to be open? On my other website, the emails send automatically as they are generated.

Thanks!

Hello Alaina,

There is only two ways for the emails to be sent out in EasyBlog.

1. via cron
2. via send emails on page load

There is actually no other way to do this. You can try the these i guess if you want to

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your responses. I installed JPrc Cronjobs per your recommendation and I just don't know what settings to use. They are giving options for task type:

Plugin
SSH
fsockopen
fopen
CURL


I've tried them all with your command

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://myurl.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";

Nothing seems to be working. Do you have any more advice for me?

Thank you!

Hello Alaina,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Please consult JPrc on this I tried to set it up for you but the cron is reporting unable to open page. Not sure why cos I tried in the browser and it is working fine.

Thanks!

I had my server company set up a cron job but still no emails are being sent.

Can you please provide more information on how this must be set up?

My server company sent me this to show that the cron is supposedly running but I'm not getting any email notifications:

Hello Alaina,

Could you please provide access to your control panel so we can check on your cronjob setting, please advice?

Thanks:)

Hi Khairul,

Thank you for your response. I am on a server that does not provide their customers with a cpanel. This is the script that they are running for me:

Per your request I added this in the crontab scheduler:

*/15 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://www.rosswoodward.org/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";

I still really need your help with this. Thanks.

Hello Alaina,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holiday for us here. Can you request your hosting provider to run the command below and provide us with the output?

 /usr/local/bin/wget "http://www.rosswoodward.org/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron" 

Hi Mark,

I actually contacted my server company and they did something to fix up the issue. Just got resolved about an hour back and I've been testing it. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks for being back in touch.

Enjoy your holiday!!!

Hello Alaina,

Ah, thanks for updating and I am glad that your issues are resolved now
