Cron issue

[tester]

Sorry, I really don't know where to post this.

I'm trying to run a cron by pressing the 'run cron job now' button. The script is being executed but the parameters are not being passed. I run the same url in my browser and the parameters are being passed. The cron code looks like:

Code Select Expand

wget https://mysite.com/index.php?route=extension/common/script/cron_reset&reset=manual
I'm picking up the parameter in the php script like:

Code Select Expand

$reset = $_GET['reset'];
My host doesn't know what's going on as of yet.

try to change the command of cron to:

Code Select Expand


wget 'https://mysite.com/index.php?route=extension/common/script/cron_reset&reset=manual'

when I put quotes it doesn't execute the script at all.

Try to use single (') and double (") quotes.

I think your cron doesn't pass parameters  because the chars like "?", "&" can be recognized as special chars by command line interpreted used by cron. If my guess is correct then you need to put the whole requested URL in quotes or pass the parameters in some other way.

Also, try to replace 'wget' with 'curl' and see if the problem remains.
