v1.8.0.2 external cron failure - File not Found

ronan_paul

I am trying to run an external cron in order to tech emails. Here is the result I got when I run the rcron.php : File Not Found. I checked the .htaccess in api directory which is there:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*/api)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/http.php/$1

I have previously created an API KEY, which is inserted into rcron.php.Thanks in advance for your help,

Some news: by modifying the .htaccess so that the RewriteRule redirects,

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/http.php/$1

=> I do not have the "File Not Found" problem.

I also had to modify the rcron.php so that curl takes the redirection into account:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

But now I end up with a "URL not supported" answer when I run rcron.php:

#!/usr/bin/php -qHTTP/1.1 302 FoundDate: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 08 GMTServer: ApacheLocation: http://dev.mallbox.fr/support/api/http.php/tasks/cronVary: Accept-EncodingContent-Length: 237Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1HTTP/1.1 400 Bad RequestDate: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 08 GMTServer: ApacheX-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.7Connection: CloseContent-Length: 17Vary: Accept-EncodingContent-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8URL not supported

I don't know how to fix that...

I could also see that I get the same answer if I directly open http://dev.mallbox.fr/support/api/http.php/tasks/cron

Still progressing: apparently the request has to be a POST, so I guess the redirection causes a problem. So I modified rcron.php so that it directly opens url'=>'http://myosticket/support/api/http.php/tasks/cron=> I got no error message but a blank page. I have set log level to DEBUG but nothing appears in the log. Strangely, even admin logging in does not appear in the log... HELP !

I took a quick look and http://dev.mallbox.fr/support/api/rcron.php appears to work.(i.e no errors and a blank output)

@[deleted] : it seems to work, but it does nothing. The log shows nothing...

ronan_paul

@[deleted] : moreover, how comes the initial problem ("File not found" with the standard .htaccess) ?

I've never encountered the problem that you are describing so it probably has something to do with your webserver configuration, or more appropriately how the .htaccess or mod_security us interacting with the site. Of course I also run cron locally instead of remotely.
