murdocklawless try running this command manually:

cd /var/www/html && php flarum schedule:run

Also make sure it runs as the right user, seems to run as root now where it should run as the website user the website runs under www-data or something similar.

      luceos I changed crontab like this, I think it's corrext syntax;

      * * * * * www-data cd /var/www/html && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

      but did not work.

      I run php flarum schedule:run in directory var/www/html and;

      [2022-02-23T17:44:23+00:00] Running scheduled command: Publish all scheduled drafts.

      no drafts nothing published.

          murdocklawless before setting cron job check whether its working or not, go to your flarum directory using CD and run PHP flarum info then try php flarum schedule:run if it's working then you should configure something like this Hari

                it seems working;

                root@flarum:/var/www/html# php flarum schedule:run
[2022-02-23T17:53:17+00:00] Running scheduled command: Publish all scheduled drafts.

                  murdocklawless i think i did not understand your problem correctly, wait for someone else reply

                    Hari I ran the command you mentioned;

                    php flarum mercury:update-check --notify

                    There are no commands defined in the "mercury" namespace.

                        On my side, I am the only one who has a Flarum installation that does not work with cron jobs?

                        Thanks 😉

                          I setup scheduler via cron but scheduled drafts do not work. System log says cronjob worked without problem but drafts still waiting in pool.

                            askvortsov > No error about the cron job. Nevertheless, as said by @murdocklawless. If I go through the terminal of cPanel the command runs normally, it says that it has put online. However, not everything that is in draft is automatically published.

                            I use next extenssions:

                            • FoF Drafts
                            • FoF Sitemap

                            Thanks ^^

                              murdocklawless yes ， I have the same problem. I have to manually use command php flarum schedule:run to post draft actually. Not sure if it's working on Popular Disccusion

                                  Teddan the problem was solved, update drafts extension. Also setup a cronjob for automatic publish.

                                  copy paste this to crontab

                                  * * * * * cd /<your flarum directory> && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

                                    Should I run this cron using sudo? because on my side if I run this command without sudo then I couldn't clear the cache using flarum but instead I need to clear cache using ssh every time; ps: I also run a queue using cron on the server

                                      lichengkun135 you need to run the command with sudo as the user the site runs as, eg www-data. This applies every time to run flarum commands.

                                          luceos
                                          I'm not sure if I get correctly what you mean😂, but if I try to run this scheduler with sudo then I get errors like:

                                          Could not open input file: flarum

                                          edit: I was dumb, using sudo before php solved the error, the way I used it was incorrect; but the cache clearing issue still exists
