I had a message in the phplist newsletter system scheduled and queued to go out lastnight at 1:00 am. It is about 3000 emails i have to send to. I don’t know why this didn’t automatically send? Is there something else i have to do? i have changed the config.php file according to hostgator’s specs. Is there something i have to do with cron job? i have a command in the cron job that says this -

cd ‘/home/USERNAME/public_html/newsletter/admin/’ ; php -q index.php -p processqueue > /dev/null ;

This is my first time using phplist, so i’m not sure what the deal is here.
What am i missing

here are the steps i took to create a newsletter if you are curious

- login to phplist admin
- click on "send a message" on the right side menu
- in the ‘content’ tab fill out the subject and the body of the newsletter
- click on the ’scheduling’ tab and set to 1AM (Of course for the next day)
- click on ‘lists’ tab and click the ‘all lists’ box
- sent a test message (sent fine)
- when finished, click on ‘messages’ on the right side.
- select ‘requeue’ of the message i want to send that night.

I attached screenshots of the phplist que and my cron job list to go out on the 22nd at 1:00am. i had this origninally set for the 21st, but obviously, i’m on here because it didn’t go out.
