Drupal Development Blog

Having the search module enabled, it turns out isn't good enough. At least not in the case of this site.

I found this forum posting on the Drupal website and following the advice of the first response it was easy to fix.

But running cron.php manually isn't good enough, because the whole point of a cron job is to have the operating system run it automatically.

Then I found the article "Using cron with Drupal" and after tweaking wget a little and using the crontab command on my shell account got things set up to run cron.php every hour.

Here's what the crontab entry looks like on the server:

#
# Run Drupal cron.php every hour

0 * * * * wget http://drupal.face2interface.com/cron.php
