Lot of emails

vitoreis · November 29th, 2006, 09:43 AM

When a auction ends the buyer and the seller receives the email to contact the other every 10 minutes (cron!).

You should not be recieving it every 10 minutes

The script sendnotice.php only will send out emails for ads which will expire in 3 days ONCE A DAY.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I would need more info on your server setup etc to look into the issue. What is the lastupdate field in your stats table of classifieds

lastupdate field in my stats table is 1164804000. Every time (10 min) a email is send it adds one more ads in stats (field ads_sold).

Any possibility of a bad configuration?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I do not see any way possible that expired ads users get emailed every ten minutes since the if clause above states only to process emails if the last update has been more than 24 hours.

lol... very strange! I receive more than 60 email yesterday!

How this stop? After I run sendnotice.php manualy (http://site.com/forum/sendnotice.php) and receive the complete mysql command in screen. Refresh and ... done! No more erros or emails!

Thanks for your support!!

Did you not setup the cron task via your server?

vitoreis · November 30th, 2006, 06:12 PM

I setup the cron task via cpanel:

If you run sendnotice.php as you are above it shows it is preforming as it should

If you run it and try to run it again before 24 hours has passed it will not run. it will and should say simply DONE.

vitoreis · December 6th, 2006, 05:21 PM

Any other way to run the sendnotice.php?

It's possible to run it from vBulletin Scheduled Tasks?

Thanks,

You can try that but in the install forum stickied is the cron task setup for the server.

Yes I know! But you can find in this topic my problems with this task... I setup the cron in my server and don't work correctly... maybe the problem is my server, but I don't know and nobody can help.

If you have an idea how to setup the cron in vBulletin I realy been thankful!

Chuck S · December 7th, 2006, 10:27 AM

I dont believe you can without altering the vb cron task cause it only looks for files with vbulletin
