Fixed. But unfortunately not in today's release. Only next Thursday.

This is something that MintJoomla appears to be struggling to make it work. :S

Is it fixed on Cobalt v.8.347 Stable?

Still not working.. No email sent..

+1 for additional simple mailer option ;-)

Notifications - Emails - Simple without CRON

**ngarasan **

Still not working.. No email sent..

Have you tried to insert the cron command (without "wget") directly into your browser's address bar?

If you receive emails shortly after entering the url, then the system works and you probably need another syntax for the cron command.

BTW. did you insert thesecret parameter "123456" into Cobalt's settings?

Best regards,

Jeff

I just tried to insert the command directly and I received the email directly.

Any sugestion for the correct syntac? I use cpanel for the administration.

Thank you for your help..

Hi ngarasan,

I'm also trying to get this thing working, no luck so far :(

You can let the server send an email every time a cron job runs.

This will give you information why the cron job failed.

These are the notifications I have received:

Cron: lynx -source https://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_cobalt& ;task=cron.sendAlert&secret=123456

I will try more settings/syntaxes en keep you updated

:(

https://mysite.com? Why https? This will require certificate confirm. Use http.

Sergey

https://mysite.com? Why https?

Because my site is https://mysite.com and not http://mysite.com

Do you mean I can still use http://mysite.com in the cron command, even if my site url is https://mysite.com?

My hosting advice me not to use wget. Is there any other syntax can be used?

try tio access this link from browser. If you success then ok.

Also you may try to use CULR

curl --insecure -c --url " https://website.com/ "

Using linx:

Lynx file "/etc/lynx.lss" is not available.

Using curl:

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

                            Dload  Upload  Total  Spent    Left  Speed

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

sergey,

what is the complete syntax for the curl without https.

Sergey

Also you may try to use CULR

curl --insecure -c --url " https://website.com/ "

This is the response from the server:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Unfortunately, no mails are sent :S

I use this: curl -c --url " http://website.com/ "

I get this message:

Why it does not work for me?

I have deleted all notifications on the mentioned table, but the cron still gave me this message:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed  Time    Time    Time  Current

                                Dload  Upload  Total  Spent    Left  Speed

This looks like Apache or server generated page. May be you have no rights to call that page through CURL? What if you simply use this URL in browser?
