It seems as if everytime I get Drupal working properly, something happens out of my control, that throws things awry.
This time it is with my cron functions. My site, Anthropology.net, uses the most current stable version of poormanscron to run tasks periodically. I have noticed in the last month that I have lost some functionality in my cron jobs. For example:
- Search Indexing
Drupal has not indexed my site for sometime. Despite no changes in my settings for poormanscron or the 4.6 search module, I have not had my site indexed for the last 53 nodes... meaning cron functionality stopped rougly 1 month ago. You can see what I am taking about with this screenshot here. Everything looks like it should work, no?
- DBA Module
I use the most current stable version DBA module to make backups of my site. That stopped working last month too, with no intervention from me whatsoever.
I have, however, cron functions as far as news aggregations. The aggregator module works right on time without fail but I do not know if this module is run indenpendantly of poormanscron or not.
I have attempted to retrace any of my steps, i.e. adding new modules, etc. in order to troubleshoot what made this not work and I have no idea. I do not know if I should submit a bug report to either poormanscron, search, or dba, either. Has anyone else come across this problem? Could it be my host that has somehow disabled these functions since they maybe cpu intensive? Is this even a matter to be discussed with the Drupal forums, since no error log is being spit out for me or should I consult my webhost's techsupport?
