daily mail not running

[chief]

I have 2 installs of LMP. one is running perfectly, the other one is not executing the dailymail routine.
I have checked both dailymail config screens and they are exactly alike.

What could be the problem?

How would I troubleshoot the install that is NOT executing dailymail as it should?

Copy this code into a .PHP file (ie. wgettest.php) and run it on your server by browsing to it.  This should locate the 'wget' file and other common alternatives and tell us the file permissions, knowledge of which will allow me to offer further advice:

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo shell_exec('ls -al /usr/bin/wget*').'<br>';
echo shell_exec('ls -al /usr/bin/curl').'<br>';
echo shell_exec('ls -al /usr/bin/GET').'<br>';
echo shell_exec('ls -al /usr/bin/lynx').'<br>';
echo shell_exec('ls -al /usr/bin/fetch').'<br>';
?>

BTW I ran this on another install of LMP that is on another host and got EXACTLY the same results - whatever that means - and that LMP is working correctly.

Via the permissions in bold it appears all of the utilities are available/executable for all users on the server.   That's good, and just leaves the easy stuff:

1. Are your sure the password set in your cron task matches the Dailymail Password on the ListMail Configuration page?

2. Are you sure the URL in your cron task is correct?

3. Are you sure the timing and command-line looks like the documentation?
