Hi,

I would like to send my invoices automatically via cronjob. my host has a cronjob manager which demand a php script to process the cronjob.

my php script looks as the following:

<?php
$ch = curl_init("www.kindersport-aus-berlin.de/?option=co...view=vminvoice");
curl_exec($ch);
echo $ch
?>

according to my host, the script is alright. but joomla produces an error 500. What settings do I have to change in order to process the cronjob.

joomla version: 2.5.7, php version: 4.4, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4, VM invoice version: 2.0.29

before I tried the automatic plug-in for sending the pdf invoices, it worked out but it also produced visible errors when the order button on the checkout page was clicked on.

thanks for help

Hello. If your site contains redirect (for example if using some kind of SEF URLs), you need to add
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); //follow redirects
before
curl_exec($ch);
EDIT: This may not be the case. But I see the URL you provided seems working (blank page is ok). So it is fixed already? What was the 500 error?

Side note: Do you remember what were the errors produced on checkout page when plugin was turned on? Thanks.

unfortunately, the problem still exists. I added the redirect line but it is still not working.

I dont know what the exact 500 error says. my host said it is procuced by my joomla. do u know how I can receive the exact error reason?

I am using https on the entire page. may this cause the cronjob problem somehow?

thanks for any input!

Hello. Yes, if you are connectiong to https site, you shoud add also

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
