My cron job will not even fire now manually. I can rename the .htaccess file, clear my cache, and direct my browser to cron.php and it will not fire and empty out the mass email que. I thought it was my server (and maybe it still is I dont know). I run the cron example test and posted a little on this thread http://www.boonex.com/forums/?action=goto&my_flags=1#topic/Cron-Job-Setup-and-Testing-Example.htm
I made this new topic because I do not want to cover up DosDawg thread with unnecessary post to his helpful tutorial for testing your server and cron jobs.
The test run shows that cron jobs are working on my server with no problem. Not only is cron commands working but a manual execution is working just fine too for my test cron files. But... The only cron not working or doing anything even with a manual execution it seems is /periodic/cron.php. and mass email que stays unchanged with no delivery of mail. Just to make sure I uploaded a fresh copy of the cron.php file from 7.0.9 which is the version I use.
I run php 5.3.9
Now i have to ignore the cron job itself because its just the one dolphin cron that will not execute. I am at loss of ideas for why that is. What could have happened on my server that it will not execute only the /periodic/cron.php
