My e-mail system doesn't work. I got no e-mails when im buying products or if I'm getting messages via contact form. I guess my cronjob doesn't work
I read that Scheduler would be a nice extension so I installed it. I got the following message : No heartbeat task found. Check if cron is configured correctly.So how do I do this? I'm using xampp on a windows pc.
My cron settings:
I never edit the cron.sh file
Either the file cron.sh or cron.php must be executed periodically by the server's system cron in order to trigger Magento's internal cron.
It's a two step process.
You can simulate having the cron job set up by calling cron.php from a web browser, wget or curl periodically to see if Magento is internally setup properly, for Magento cron jobs to fully run, you must have the crontab entry set up either through cPanel or in your OS configurations.
Windows requires a scheduler entry since you're using that. It will need to call the command line version of the php interpreter to execute the full path cron.php file as in c:\wherever\you\have\magento root\cron.php
Scheduler is reporting no heartbeat found because this periodic invoking of cron.php isn't happening.
