Newsletter Made Simple: job not started [SOLVED]

[hdriezen]

Hi,

I have installed
CGExtensions 1.30
CGJobMgr 1.2.7
NMS 2.5.6
CMSMS 1.11.1

I've created a distribution list, a user and a newsletter. I 've created a job and clicked the 'start'-button. Status in NMS is 'Starting'.

In Job Processing Manager the status is 'Not started'. Clicking the provided URL that should start the jobs doesn't seem to do anything, it redirects me to the home page of my website. Status remains 'Not started'.

Any ideas of what I might be missing or doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hans

What I might add is that I don't understand the url to be triggered to start the job: "http://www.mywebsite.com/CGJobMgr/process
The directory CGJobMgr does not exist on my webserver, so this url will never be found, or am I wrong?

Any help much appreciated, my client is waiting for me...

Same with me, have a similar setup and get the same results. Anyone a suggestion what we are doing wrong?

the given url probably only works with pretty urls/mod_rewrite enabled.

If you don't want that, you could try something like
'http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?mact= ... late=false
(didn't test it)

Thanks Jos,

Pretty URL/Mod rewrite is enabled, so that shouldn't be the issue. I've been testing and trying the past few days, but couldn't find what's wrong. I have similar installations (same versions of modules and cmsms) that do work.
Very, very frustrating!

Jos, okulyth,

Please do have a look at this thread about the same problem:

I think I found out what causes the problem, but I don't have a solution yet, so any help still much appreciated!

OK, as I said the problem was in the fact that my home page was an external link instead of content.
Here's what I changed:
- Changed the contenttype of the home page to 'content'
- Made a global content block with the content of the home page
- In the page template I added this to display the home page:

Code: Select all

{if $page_alias == 'home'}
     {global_content name='home'}
{/if}

- And this for the rest of the site:

Code: Select all

{if $page_alias != 'home'}
.
.
.
.
.
{/if}
