Emails not being sent

[dannyscarborough]

Hi,

Wondered if you can help me with an issue I'm having sending emails. I've checked your documentation here but it hasn't identified an issue.

Problem

Recently installed Freescout on a windows 2012 server using IIS 8.5, I've configured mail to be sent via the mail() function using our internal SMTP server, tests are working fine but no emails are being sent using the cron / scheduled task.

I believe this could be because I already have another Larevel project on my server (Snipe-IT) or it could be because I'm not running the right command.

I have created a cmd that runs every minute in task scheduler, this is CD C:\inetpub\wwwroot\freescout && php artisan schedule:run is this right?

Emails that are scheduled to send appear in system > status > background jobs and remain here.

queue-jobs.log shows 'ps' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

It looks like nothing is getting triggered, can you please offer any guidance on how I can get past this issue?

Many thanks,
Danny.

Managed to get it working by install cygwin as suggested in issue

Might be worth adding this as a note for IIS users 👍
