This article applies to KMP v6.0.2 and earlier versions. The lines mentioned below have been already added in v6.0.3 and subsequent versions.

If you knowledge base runs via https:// (i.e. with SSL) just add the following lines (highlighted in yellow) to the /admin/CRON/cron.php file:

<?php

chdir(dirname(__FILE__)."/../");

define("BASEPATH", true);

include 'config.inc.php';

$sysConfig = __getConfig();

$base_url = $sysConfig['base_url'] . $sysConfig['index_postfix'];

// create a new cURL resource

$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $base_url . 'cron/start');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser

curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources

curl_close($ch);
