redtogo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I installed Petrashop 1.6.0.5 a couple of days ago and I was only having minor problems with the cron jobs mainly that I was not sure if they were working properly. However after that major update of modules a couple of days, the cron jobs started sending out the following message 'Unable to create directory: /home/virtfs'. However now it is worse. After the last bulk updates this morning, nothing happens at all!!!!!! I have not received any reports at all from the cronjobs. As I am running Crontab for Prestashop v1.3 my first thought was to check that out and found out it is no longer working. I am running the Server Crontab method which has been okay up to now when I would receive the usual email. When you run the test in Crontab nothing happens. I deleted the command on my server to run Crontab to see if the cron jobs would run by themselves but the cron jobs are still dead. I bundled both of these problems together because possibly the problem lies with both of them. I believe the problem lies somewhere in the new module updates because that is where the problem started after the updates but where exactly I would not have a clue because I have checked each of the bulk module lists checking to see if Crontab or Customer Update was included but I could find no reference to either of them. Cron jobs are important because they can help to recover lost sales and/or increase sales with special discounts so some attention should be made to fix these problems.

redtogo Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 An update of what is happening with this problem: 1. The crontab module now appears to be working okay. 2. The update currency cron appears to be working okay. 3. There is still a problem with the Customer Follow up cron job. Now everytime it runs I get a 500 Internal Server Error. This is a new error message and is completely different than any messages I received before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtogo Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Finally given up on Prestashop 1.6 and returned to 1.5 where all my cronjobs work without any hassles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegaskev Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Would you happen to have a copy of crontab for PS 1.5 you can share? I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's been pulled from the marketplace and I could really use it on this 1.5 site I have. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matti Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Prestashop cron tasks manager module seems to be buggy. I use the original crontab module by Samdha. http://www.prestatoolbox.com/free-modules/115-crontab.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
