  • How are you running this? Utilizing the run manually page, I'm able to run the jobs without issue. However, curl and wget are failing with username/password errors and/or key errors, while php is complaining of deprecated # comment marks, that need to be re-written to ;.

  • I got this same error in Joomla 3.4.8. Upon clearing caches and reset paths, now completely broken. Blank pages.

  • Running a script with this command: /usr/local/bin/php /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u mysqluser -p mysqlpass -e Job -a execute i think the primary error is "DB Error: Insufficient Permissions" - however, i can log into MySql with the same credentials manually without any problem.

On a WordPress site with CiviCRM 4.6.10 I had the same problem but switching from the "URL" to the "CLI" method of executing cron fixed the problem.

An issue has been filed for this in the CiviCRM bug tracker.

See https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18514

I see from the above that you are using the php cli method. The credentials that it is looking for is a CMS User (WordPress) with sufficient permissions in CiviCRM to run the jobs.

I just tested on 4.7.8 CiviCRM with WP 4.5.2 with the following syntax

/usr/local/php56/bin/php /home/user/htdocs/civicrm/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u cronuser -p somepassword -e Job -a execute
