Hari It worked for me

cd /home/louanbastos/public_html/ && /opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/php flarum mercury:update-check --notify >>/dev/null 2>&1

Hari

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

Hari

louanbastos Braden 🙂

you should always set timer for atleast 2min or above otherwise server will get busy in running these and it will go on loop. Idk what it is called technically "system overhead" or something

Observe the above screenshot it's set for 2min.

Braden

Thanks @Hari you're a life savior!

Hari
I set it to every 6 in 6 hours.

I bumped into

PHP Warning:  Undefined array key "id" in /home2/account/public_html/vendor/fof/drafts/src/Console/PublishDrafts.php on line 67

maybe it was attempting to publish

In general it's safe to disable PHP warnings in php.ini. Many extensions and even core itself still throw a few warnings during normal operation. It's good practice to disable PHP warnings in production. They are designed for the developers.

If warnings aren't disabled, there's a risk it generates output before headers, and then the whole request fails because of it. But if warnings are disabled, the request will likely complete successfully.

Make sure to disable them for both the webserver and the command line PHP configurations. They are often in separate files.

louanbastos if i am not wrong you can run schedule lately, but "forgot password" emails and notifications are linked to queues so once make sure everything working or not

Darkle

The scheduler has stopped working with drafts for no reason, I can't find any error in the configuration, in fact it's exactly the same as when it was working, I have no idea how to fix it... Does anyone know what I can do to find out what is going on?

Darkle

Ok I think I have found what is going on, if someone can confirm it in their environment it would be helpful to post the issue on GitHub. I think this is a major bug, if any user on the site with access to the scheduler, schedules a reply in a discussion (instead of a new discussion) the scheduler stops working on the site, it doesn't publish the reply and neither does the rest of the scheduled discussions from other users.

luceos

Darkle if any user on the site with access to the scheduler

The scheduler is something that runs on the server, inaccessible to users. Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Darkle

luceos Sorry, I misspoke, I was referring to the "Schedule drafts" permission in fof/drafts. The cron job was fine, but the scheduled drafts came to a complete halt because of a scheduled draft reply, deleting this scheduled reply allowed all scheduled discussions that had not been able to do so up to that point to be published at once.

I have tried it several times in my environment and it happens again when scheduling a reply within a discussion.

Edit: I thought I'd better move these last post(s) to the fof/drafts discussion as the problem seems to be there.

murdocklawless

I tried to send a scheduled draft but it won't published.

I add crontab;

[* * * * * cd /var/www/html && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1](https://)

I checked syslog and cron is working;

Feb 23 19:59:01 xxx.com CRON[1205008]: (root) CMD (cd /var/www/html && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)

and I enabled scheduled draft from fof/drafts admin panel.

is there anything I should do?

luceos

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.

murdocklawless

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.

luceos 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 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.

According to these, why am I editing the crontab for the current user, then? The command crontab -e in the OP implies that I am changing the crontab for the current user, and not for the www-data user (assuming the flarum install directory belongs to the www-data user and under /var/www/flarum directory).

Should the crontab command be something like, sudo crontab -u www-data -e ?

murdocklawless

Hari I ran the command you mentioned;

php flarum mercury:update-check --notify

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

murdocklawless

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.

Hari

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

Hari

murdocklawless did you install mercury? you need to get key from Extiverse and configure it. i don't recommend you to set a cron for it because it's better to update manually and run flarum migrate commands.

you will also find the check for updates button at admin panel which is good enough

murdocklawless

Hari there is no update.
