Running on Wordpress 4.8.7. No problem with Cron on 5.3.1, but right after upgrading we're getting warning that cron is not running.
"Cron Not Running- Last cron run at July 28th, 2018 3:20 PM."

Here is crontab entry, sanitized:

*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home2/xxxxxx/newarksymphony.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -s www.newarksymphony.org -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxx -e Job -a execute

Scheduled jobs log shows that jobs are indeed running every 10 minutes.

Can you please check MYSQL and PHP are using the same timezone? This sometimes happens when both are running on different timezones.

You can find a solution for similar sorts of issues here.

  • I checked and PHP was on US Eastern and MYSQL "system_time_zone" was Central, one hour off. I'm on shared hosting and don't have control over the latter. But I'm trying a solution (in civicrm.settings.php) based on stackoverflow.com/questions/34428563/… There are a few time_zone variables in SQL. How can I be sure what is really in use?

  • Found a way to easily look at the PHP vs SQL times. In the table log_civicrm_job the column "last_run" show the job run time, based on PHP, and "log_date" shows the log entry time based on SQL server. In my case the times are still off by 1 hour even though I have this in civicrm.settings.php: $db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=realdbname', 'dbuser','password'); $db->exec("SET time_zone='-4:00';"); But the cron running error has gone away even with the timezones off by an hour.
