Re: xpayments Cron help please
 

Hi,
I receive the error code 212 when I launch the cron.php from command line.
Could you let me know what that means, please.
I am using Version: 1.0.5

Re: xpayments Cron help please
 

Make sure you run it using CLI version of PHP. See http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Payments:Installation#cron.php:_X-Payments_is_using_a_non-secure_protocol_error

Re: xpayments Cron help please
 

Hi,
I am using the CLI version. It only runs when I am root user but not when I am the web-user.
Do you know what the error code means?

Have no idea. Your case needs investigation on your server that can be done within bounds of our incident support for X-Payments

Re: xpayments Cron help please
 

I've managed to get the cron.jpb to run under blue host, using:
/ramdisk/bin/php5-cli /home1/domain/public_html/xpayments/cron.php

But it (unexpectedly) generates errors. Are we really expected to understand all this stuff and how to fix it?

Error is -
PHP Warning: require_once(./top.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/domain/public_html/xpayments/cron.php on line 23
PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required './top.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php/53/usr/lib64:/usr/php/53/usr/share/pear') in /home1/domain/public_html/xpayments/cron.php on line 23

From what I can see both folders exist. I just don't know how to fix it.

big sigh

This is what we used on our cPanel:

Re: xpayments Cron help please
 

Look at the command sent to the cron in post #9: http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=338849&postcount=9

You can try to do something similar using the paths at your host - you can see one part of the command before the semicolon - the cd is moving to the directory where the x-payments cron is. Then the next part runs the cron after moving to the directory. That ensures it finds the included files referenced in the script.

You have to know exactly where PHP CLI is located or it won't work. Exactly, and they're not all the same.

1) Find out where your PHP CLI is. SSH into your root. If you don't have root access, you'll have to get your hosting company to do it. Once you ssh into root, run this command:

whereis php5

For my server, this was the result:

/usr/bin/php5

Knowing this is everything.

2) Run PHP scripts from Linux command line in this manner:

/user/bin/php5 /path/to/your/script.php

For me that would equate to:

/usr/bin/php5 /home/mypath/public_html/xpayments/cron.php

3) Following X-Cart instruction manual, cron is this:

0 0 * * * cd /home/mypath/public_html/xpayments ; /usr/bin/php5 -f /home/mypath/public_html/xpayments/cron.php

See the ";" between the statements? The first part tells the cron to change directories to where the file is located. The second command instructs it to run that file from the PHP CLI mode.

Took me forever to figure that out!

This is true when you are using a "download-able" X-Payments license.
X-Payments Hosted plans do know where it is located so nothing is needed to be done about PHP CLI setup.
