Cron job not working despite being set up according to instructions
-
On the latest version of MailPoet. I’ve set up a cron job on my own server, to point to my client’s website (on a different server), according to these instructions:
https://support.mailpoet.com/knowledgebase/configure-cron-job/– I used this command: curl –silent “https://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-cron.php?xxxx…” > /dev/null 2>&1
In a script I set up in SSH
The server is 1and1.com, so I followed the instructions outlined here to point to the script I set up with the above line of code:
https://help.1and1.com/hosting-c37630/scripts-and-programming-languages-c85099/cron-jobs-c37727/create-a-cron-job-a595882.htmlSo basically, my crontab is running the above script, using the syntax:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * php5 /path/to/script/cron_file.php
So that it will execute every 5 minutes of every hour.
My “Send With” option in MailPoet is configured to send 25 emails every 5 minutes.
My automatic newsletter I’m trying to send out is sent at 4 am every day when there’s new content.
The newsletter doesn’t send. There isn’t even a new newsletter assembled pending sending. Where did I go wrong?
