Cron job question

Sorry I know this has been talked about (alot).. However after looking through previous posts for two days I still have an issue.. I'm running on windows, WAMP, (testing everything to see how I like it, So far love it),, Anyways the mass mail and the video upload is not working, So I am now thinking Cron jobs are not set up properly, When I check under cron in my phpadmin I get this :

			id	name	time	class	file	eval
			1	cmd	0 0 * * *	BxDolCronCmd	inc/classes/BxDolCronCmd.php
			2	notifies	*/10 * * * *	BxDolCronNotifies	inc/classes/BxDolCronNotifies.php
			3	video_comments	* * * * *	BxDolCronVideoComments	flash/modules/video_comments/inc/classes/BxDolCron...
			7	bx_videos	*/5	BxDolCronVideo	flash/modules/video/inc/classes/BxDolCronVideo.php
			5	BxShoutBox	*/5 * * * *	BxShoutBoxCron	modules/boonex/shoutbox/classes/BxShoutBoxCron.php
			8	bx_sounds	*/5	BxDolCronMp3	flash/modules/mp3/inc/classes/BxDolCronMp3.php

I went into my header.inc.php and changed the bug report mail to the email I use regularly (as I never received any mail about anything on the site).

I am at a loss as to where to look to get back into where I can re-edit my cron job stuff or just to check if it is set up properly. Also I never made  the cron.bat folder in my periodic folder, I made new folder there now but am unsure as to whet to put in there, I read the install file again but kinda got lost so if anyone can help with an idea would be great, or if more information needed to do so I'm more than happy to give what I can,, Thanks

I'm assuming you don't know how to set cron jobs under Windows. I recommend you read the installation document's section about cron jobs: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall#InstallScript-Step5-CronJobs

Thank you again Magnussoft for the quick reply (as always). You are correct that I don't know how to set cron jobs under windows, but also I've never delt with cron jobs ever. So reading again the install part for wwindows, I opened notepad and put in it "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\php.exe -f c:\wamp\www\periodic\cron.php" (without quotes of coarse), then saved it as cron.bat and saved it to the periodic folder, so it is in there now and the file type is "MS-DOS Batch File",, now next step "

2) then assign cron for this file this way:

schtasks /Create /tn dolphin_cron /sc MINUTE /mo 1 /tr c:\wamp\www\periodic\cron.bat (to run every minute)

may I ask where or how to assign it? Thanks in advance..

You can use the Command Prompt for the second step. Also make sure your path information is correct, and not just copied over from the example in the documentation.

Ok thank you I did re-look at path had to change "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\php.exe -f c:\wamp\www\periodic\cron.php" to "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\php.exe -f c:\wamp\www\periodic\cron.php then went to command prompt and was successful, However it was still not doing the mass mail and the video uploads come up as video error, would it make a differance as to how I saved the crom.bat file when I made it?( refering to the file type ) I think I saved it as unicode. also would there be any other file I would have to alter or add lines to (as setting this up is being done after the installation process)?. Thanks a again Magnussoft for your help and quick reply's...

Are you using the ffmpeg.exe for Windows, or the default one from Dolphin (which is for Linux)?

im not trying to be a pisser here, but this is not truly a dolphin related support situation. this is a server configuration matter. you are going to face many problems trying to run linux from your windows based machine if you are not familiar with server configuration.

you are most likely not receiving mail for a few reasons, one is that you do not have a mail server, 2. is that you have not configured your mail server, 3. is that your local ISP does not allow relaying the email, and in some cases your ISP could actually refuse port 25 smtp relay, which you would have to setup an alternate port.

best advice, would be to get a hosting account, so that at least the headaches you face, are not related to server misconfiguration, or at least not at the level you are facing them now.

Thanks Magnussoft, under the host params  in admin tools the ffmpeg output says :

not sure if thats the right one but the location for it is \flash\modules\global\app and is the .exe ..

Thanks DosDawg for the comments, didn't sound like you were being a pisser, being new with this type system/program, input is always good. I am used to using Paperirc so all this flash stuff is alittle differant, The regular mailing stuff works (auto responce reply ect) its just the mass mail part keeps them in queue. My smtp  is setup with port 25 and is allowed by my ISP. The only other thing not working is the video uploads and that could be as small as a setting somewhere that I don't know of, In time I'm sure I could figure alot of this on my own I  just figured I'ld post in the forums as someone may have ran into a snag like this. Its not really a headache to me, but more a learning thing. I cannot see putting a site into any major use without knowing about it first so if anyone comes to the site and has questions, the site owner should know where things are and how they work, how better to learn than to "mostly" do things yourself from the ground up.
