Hello,
another problem with my Habari 0.8-alpha installation that first
occured before the 0.7 release. I had a talk in IRC about this one
already, but it did not lead to a solution.
The problem description is simple: My scheduled posts are never
published.
According to the IRC talk, I installed the CronTab plugin, it showed
that the job for publishing scheduled posts did never run. It also
does not run when I trigger it manually. The other jobs seem to be
okay.
I am not sure whether this is a misconfiguration in my Habari or on my
server. It is obviously not a Habari bug, 0.7 runs fine on another
server. As there are two Habari installations with this problem on the
same server, it is propably a server problem, but I need more
information to contact my webhoster. Example: What is meant by
"cronjob"? Those aren't actual cronjobs, right? I don't have server
access so I don't believe there are actual cronjobs installed.
Again, any idea is appreciated. I don't even know where to start this
time, as I have no idea what is going wrong.
Regards,
Konzertheld

Hi Konzertheld
You are right, Habari's "cron" is not the same as the OS cron. It is effectively just a time based hook that causes an action to be run when your Habari site is accessed on or after the date you've set in your cronjob. The "job" is stored in the database and when the site it viewed, CronTab::run_cron() checks which entries need to be "run" and runs them.
So provided you have valid entries, and the system time and timezone is correct, your "cronjobs" should run when someone views your site, admin included.

Hey...
um... wonder healing... the problem just... disappeared. Very strange.
It was there for weeks, I reproduced it again and again and now it is
gone. Weird. Thanks for your reply anyway.
