'invalid key sent' while cron script is executed

Question

in civicrm.settings.php I have if (!defined('CIVICRM_SITE_KEY')) { define( 'CIVICRM_SITE_KEY', '2e554f49c9fc5c47548da5C24da64681b77dca08');

When I use the following URL to start manually all cron jobs, I see that jobs get executed, so the URL seems ok to me. http://xxxxxx.yyy/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=civimail&pass=xxxxxxxx&key=2e554f49c9fc5c47548da5C24da64681b77dca08

The script to start all cron jobs is defined as follows:

!/bin/sh

GET 'http://xxxxx.yyy/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=civimail&pass=xxxxxxxx&key=2e554f49c9fc5c47548da5C24da64681b77dca08'

However, when this script is run, I got this message through mail:

ERROR: Invalid key value sent.

So to me the key seems correct, but even after changing the key to something else both in civicrm.settings.php and in the script, I continue to get this error message. I'm using the latest 4.7.2 civicrm version on drupal 7. For now I'm using easycron, but I'd like to find out if there is an error in this configuration, or if it's a bug.

Any suggestions for further testing ?

thanks Wim

Answer 1

problem found... it was a confusion between 2 scripts

/home/sitename/www/www/private/civicron.sh /home/sitename/private/civicron.sh

After adapting the correct script it seems okay.
