Mautic 3 (M3) is a big leap forward. You won’t notice much as a casual user, but behind the scenes, a lot has changed. In a particular, compatibility with PHP 7.2 and 7.3 means that we will see significant improvements in speed.
We’re currently trialling v3 on a few systems, and there are some subtle changes that you’ll need to be aware of when setting things up.
We’ve compiled a few tips from our experience of moving to v3 that will hopefully speed your setup times along.
Tip 1. The console for Mautic cron jobs has moved
Most of the tutorials you’ll find online for setting up the Mautic cron jobs are based on v2. Whilst nothing has changed on the commands themselves, one big ‘gotcha’ is that the console file is now located in bin rather than app
So rather than:
php /var/www/html/wp-content/console mautic:segments:update
You’ll be doing:
php /var/www/html/bin/console mautic:segments:update
And whilst we’re talking about CRON jobs for Mautic, we thought we’d share our current setup:
0,15,30,45 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:segments:update 5,20,35,50 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:campaigns:update 10,25,40,55 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:campaigns:trigger 10,25,40,55 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:messages:send 0,15,30,45 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:emails:send 0,15,30,45 * * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:email:fetch * */30 * * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:webhooks:process 0 0 1 * * user php /path-to-mautic/bin/console mautic:iplookup:download
