Major Problems - Please Help!

[Mark F]

Hello Everyone,

I recently moved my game across servers, though I have been having problems, most likely with my crons.

Features like Energy, Brave and Will etc have all stopped working.

I have entered my crons into Cpanel, and checked that the code matches that in config.php

I would appreciate it if I could have some help!

Does anyone know a simple cron test that I could run?

Try this as a sample:

<?php
$interval = (5 * 60); // run every 5 minutes

if (!file_exists('cron_test.txt')) {
   $fp = fopen('cron_test.txt', 'w');
   if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX)) {
       fwrite($fp, time());
       flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
   }
   else {
       exit;
   }
}
else {
   $time = time(); // cache it
   $data = file_get_contents('cron_test.txt');
   $sum = ($time - $data);
   if ($data == 'SUCCESS' || $data == 'FAIL') {
       exit;
   }
   elseif ($sum >= $interval) {
       $status = 'FAIL';
   } 
   else {
       $status = 'SUCCESS';
   }

   $fp = fopen('cron_test.txt', 'w');
   if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX)) {
       fwrite($fp, $status);
       flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
   }
   else {
       exit;
   }
}

?>

 

Createa file called "cron_test.txt" in the same directory as this file, and set its permissions to 777.

Also setup a cron to execute this file every five minutes, and then after about a hour, check the contents of the file.

If it is empty, contact your host and tell then that the crontabs are not working, if it says "FAIL" or gives a few numbers, the system time might be incorrect, or the crontabs are faulty.

But if it says "SUCCESS", everything seems to be working.

I probably know whats wrong. Do you know when you setup the game first and it gave you a code at the end of the crons? Its in config i think, Its like this "4570246527246542" And its in the crons when you input them, Im sure its something with that. I wouldnt know how to fix though,

Re: Major Problems - Please Help!

Thank you for your help, though I had already checked that out. I think that the problem must be on my hosters end, because when I run the file manually it seems to work.
