I've tried replying to this thread regarding invoking cake through a cron, http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/ca93998efc8ff040/356b65885defec7c?lnk=gst&q=cron_dispatcher&rnum=1# but Google won't let me, so am starting this new thread, while referencing the older one.
If anyone else has encountered the following problem, and was successful in resolving it, I would appreciate the heads up on what you did. As described in the very clear bakery article http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/calling-controller-actions-from-cron-and-the-command-line, I took a copy of app/webroot/index.php, modified it to take command line arguments of controller/action, then placed it in a file called cron_dispatcher.php in the app/ directory. Here is the problem: When I invoke the cron_dispatcher.php as follows: php cron_dispatcher.php /orders/my_alert It invokes cake fine, extracts the parameters fine, but then cake gives the following error: 404 Not found The requested address /orders/my_alert was not found on this server. However, when I invoke http://mydomain.com/orders/my_alert through the web, it finds the action and it runs as it should. Any idea why through the web cake finds the controller/action, but not when it is invoked through the cron? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
