Peter Bailey	Tuesday 15 April 2003 6:49:51 am Okay, delved into workflows yesterday. Seemed pretty easy, and I needed an approval workflow, so I decided to start there. After following the instuctions in the tutorial to a T (http://ez.no/sdk/tutorials/view/publishworkflow/) I come to realize that it isn't working. Now, via reading various threads on workflows, I get the impressions that eZ publish must be able to run cron-jobs because of the creation of a collaboration item. At the moment, I don't have the non-apache PHP installed. Is this my problem? Also, I'm using RC1 still. We are hoping to get 3-final setup on a another server here soon.
Jan Borsodi	Wednesday 16 April 2003 1:48:27 am Approvals require a cronjob to run. If you don't have the shell command line version of PHP it will be quite hard to make the workflows work. If your site runs non-virtualhost mode you can run the workflow script directly in the browser (not recommended though), I believe the script was called runcronworkflows.php in RC1. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
