I am trying to run a CakePHP Shell script through the Scheduled Task of Windows 2003 server and I'm finding that the task Could not start.
When I run it manually from the Command Prompt it works well:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CakePHP\lib\Cake\Console\cake mail read
The Scheduled task Run field is exactly the same and the Start in is set to:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tickets\app
The Run as field is set as the computer admin which has all permissions (not the ISS user)
Scheduled Task log shows this message when trying to execute it:
"Ticket Mail System.job" (cake) 13/12/2012 07:15:00 ** ERROR **
Unable to start task.
The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied.
It seems it is a permissions problem.
I have tried to give over the lib/Cake/Consol/cake.bat file all permissions for both users, the IIS 6 user and the Internet Guest Account user, but still doesn't work.
Any idea which could be the cause?
It worked well over Windows 7 but it didn't on Window 2003 Server.
Finally, I tried it adding .bat after calling the Shell and it works.
I had to put this in the Run field:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CakePHP\lib\Cake\Console\cake.bat mail read
It seems Windows 2003 needs the .bat at the end...
