Background Tasks not working

Pydio 8
1

I’m not having any luck getting background tasks to run. I have recently upgraded to Pydio 8.02, which didn’t fix the problem.

I have confirmed CLI is enabled and working.

Regardless, handling of files over 10Mb require a background task which never completes. The popup appears but no error messages. Diagnostics are all ok.

The main task I’m trying to complete is emptying the Recycle Bin!

Can someone advise where to look. Thanks.

Running on CentOS 7 - cPanel/WHM

Hi! did you try to set the absolute path to php cli in the settings? Or checking the default value is correct for your system?

Hi, Make sure that php-cli use the same (configuration of ) php.ini with php cgi

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yes, that was one of the first things I did to set the absolute path.
As I said, it’s reporting that CLI is working

5

Um… I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to here?

Just wondering if anyone has any further information about this error. It’s been a couple of months and I still don’t have background tasks running successfully.

In particular, deleting files over 10Mb raises a background task - which never runs. My client is unable to Empty Recycle bin or delete files larger than 10Mb due to this.

Everything else appears to be functioning correctly.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue here with 8.2.2 on CentOS 7.5.
Background tasks notifies that a background task is launching but actually it will never start.
(nor finish).
This is absolutely required for operation on our end, as we use it as big remote file management tool (not as cloud storage).

Hi,

You can set in it conf/conf.core.ajaxplorer.inc or (/etc/pydio/conf.core.ajaxplorere.inc)

Hi @Waseem
In windows, it’s path to php.exe

“Use COM class” : On

Sorry: Use COM class should be ON when you use IIS

hi @c12simple thanks for the reply, ok here’s what i did. reinstalled ampps on the same drive used as the file server. now the files are being copied no matter the size. although the CLI shows as disabled in the diagnostics. will CLI be needed or should i leave the system as it is since it is working alright.

i get indexing running in the background,shows as starting and stays that way, this might be due to the CLI not being enabled, hopefully it wont cause a problem…
