Timed publish stopped working

[razz]

Hello,

I'm running db files with PivotX - 2.2.6.
Since a day or two my timed entries doesnt get published.
I haven't changed any setting at all.

1 week ago i only switched from server. There is a time difference of 6 hours between both servers but i don't think this should be a problem.
I did changed time offset a few minutes ago and tested a timed entry again but without success.

Anyone have any idea on what happened here all over suddenly ?


thank you

Just hoping to get more clear about this issue i have some config options listed below.

check_for_timed_publish : 150
diffdate_format : %ordday% %monname% '%ye% -
Time Offset : 6

I'm having a feeling something goes wrong because of the server move i did recently.. from europe to USA.. however i'm pretty sure it worked the first few days on the new server..

Before you are going to check further better upgrade first. Current version is 2.3.3.
Always a wise thing to do when you encounter problems.......

İ'm not sure if i can just update since i remember i (and hans) did edit some core files once..

İt was working perfectly though on2.2.6

[Harm10]

If you remember what files were edited then you can just skip them when file comparing. Otherwise you have to wait for hans to read and reply......

or somebody gives me the ultimate tip on fixing this issue
Either way, i'm patiently waiting

First check if you have disabled the scheduler - check the advanced configuration: dont_run_scheduler. If you have disabled it, you probably had a cron job on the old server that ran "wget example.org/pivotx/scheduler.php" or similar. If you haven't disabled it, you have to check the server time.

PS! I remember that I changed scheduler.php on your site - commented out (or removed) the "cleanCache();" line. It's trivial to reapply that change after upgrading to PivotX 2.3.3.

Hello Hans,
First of all, thank you for your (always valuable) input.

"dont_run_scheduler" is on 1. Not sure but 1 means enabled right ? In this case it does not run ?

I digged in my emails for a while and found your emails from 12 months ago regarding this issue.

1) I have disabled the scheduler[1] - doesn't make sense that all of your
visitors try to run it. (It won't run for each visitor, but just
checking is wasting resources.) I suggest that you (or your hoster)
add a cron job that runs every 15 minute that loads
http://www.youramateurporn.com/pivotx/scheduler.php
(Typically done with wget, curl or similar tools.)
The scheduler checks for timed publish which is important for you, and
does some additional cleaning up.

also in scheduler.php

// Here we call the functions that need to be run.
// Disablde cleanCache since it kills files that is still needed. (Added by hansfn, 2011.07.01.)
// cleanCache();
$PIVOTX['db']->checkTimedPublish();
$PIVOTX['pages']->checkTimedPublish();
if ($PIVOTX['config']->get('moblog_active')) {
$moblog = new Moblog();
$messages = $moblog->execute();
if (!empty($messages)) {
debug(implode("\n",$messages));
}
}

What do you advice in this case, best way is to ask hosting to add a cron to run scheduler again ?

[hansfn]

Yes.

working 100% again.
