It means to create a new directory named “logs” within the following directory:

/path to openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/

Such that you will have the following:

/path to openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/logs

Do you have access to your openemr installation?

Thank you,

Yes, I have access to my emr installation

I received this error when I run my cron jobs, could anyone provide any insight

Status: 404 Not Found
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

No input file specified.

This is my cron command

php /home/creat616/technologyreconstruction.com/openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/

#38

The command should be:
php /home/creat616/technologyreconstruction.com/openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/cron_email_notification.php

#39

Thank you for that information, I am not receiving this error, is that a coding issue within the php file? or information in the clients database?

To verify if it works, you must see the files in the logs directory:
ls /path_to_openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/logs
And in appointment change the status to EMAIL Confimed.

When i view my logs directory that I created it’s empty, do i need to adjust the permissions for the folder?

#42

If cron is running as root, there is no need to change permissions. Did the status change in appointments?

#43

When you refer to did the status of the appointments change, which area would I check that, on the calendar or in a php file

Please, open your browser, in the address bar put: http://localhost/openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/cron_email_notification.php and press enter (“http://localhost/openemr” you must change to your web address to login into openmr).

I am able to login to the emr site without issue

#49

Please edit cron_functions.php file and comment line 15, it should be: // include(“Mailer.php”); and try again
Sorry.
replace for this (attached) file
cron_functions.php (10.4 KB)

Thank you, I added that in as line 15; however the message didn’t change, which that being just a comment entry, will it read any data from that change?

#51

please replace the attached file immediately above

#52

The file has been uploaded, I will await the cron job to see what occurs

#53

I replaced the file and uploaded it, I receive the same error, and there is nothing in the logs folder

#54

Did you try specifying site in php parameters? Is your site other than ‘default’?
