Magento cron schedule created_at时间总是比服务器时间晚2个小时

Question

Magento cron schedule created_at time is always 2 hours behind from server time. Mysql server time, Magento Time and PHP time are same. But the magento cron job created_at time is always 2 hours behind. What could be the reason ?

Answer 1

Its not just your Cron schedule that defines when the cron job is created or runs but it also depends on the settings defined in Magento under Admin => system => configuration => system => ‘Cron (Scheduled Tasks)’ . Ideally, you should use the below settings to ensure that the Cron runs correctly :

Generate schedules every: 60 Schedule ahead for: 1 Missed if not run within: 60 History cleanup every: 120 Success history lifetime: 120 Failure history lifetime: 120

Also, ensure that you run the Cron every 15 minutes for best results. That shall ensure that it doesn't coincide with other Cron services.
