Drupal Cron getting stuck

February 5 2010 : posted under drupal cron error

I’ve just run into the drupal cron problem again

Cron fails and the error log says

Attempting to re-run cron while it is already running.

  • delete from variable where name=‘cron_semaphore’;
  • clear caches
  • run cron from the web page

That seems to do the trick.

Now cron runs OK fom drush or web.
