    I have set up the crontab on my server properly. But when I run the cron.php file in ssh I get the following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/93/2045293/html/assets/components/cronmanager/cron.php on line 29

    But I do not see an error anywhere in the file. I am using revo 2.1.3. [ed. note: Lacks_Imagination last edited this post 15 years ago.]

      I solved the problem by running cron.php using PHP 5. I was running the file in PHP 4 before.

        After I got the crontab working the cron.php did not work. I am using Revo 2.1.3 and CronManager 1.0. I fixed the problem by replacing
        /* Lines 4 & 5 in cron.php */
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'config/'.MODX_CONFIG_KEY.'.inc.php';
require_once MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH.'index.php';

        with
        /* Now lines 4-6 in cron.php */
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'model/modx/modx.class.php';
$modx = new modX();
$modx->initialize('web');


        I hope this helps anyone who has had problems with CronManager. [ed. note: Lacks_Imagination last edited this post 15 years ago.]

          I cannot get this to work with modx 2.1.3 advanced.

          The email I receive has the following error.

          <br />

            Thx Lacks_Imagination, your solutions works really fine!
            cron.php is now looking like this:
            <?php
require_once dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))).'/config.core.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'model/modx/modx.class.php';
$modx = new modX();
$modx->initialize('web');
$corePath = $modx->getOption('cronmanager.core_path',null,$modx->getOption('core_path').'components/cronmanager/');
require_once $corePath.'model/cronmanager/cronmanager.class.php';
$modx->cronmanager = new CronManager($modx);
$modx->lexicon->load('cronmanager:default');
...

                I have also problem, for me cron.php returns this:
                "success":false,"code":401


                My snippet looks like this:
                <?php
$images = new Imagick(glob('assets/p-images/*.JPG'));
$imageprops = $image->getImageGeometry();
 if ($imageprops['width'] <= 800 && $imageprops['height'] <= 600) {
        // don't upscale
    } else {
foreach($images as $image) {
    // Providing 0 forces thumbnailImage to maintain aspect ratio
        $image->resizeImage(800,600, imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS, 0.9, true);
    }
	}


                Any idea why?

                  I suppose I dont have to input any login for server since all pages are online, but the cron manager doesnt seems to work...
