Magento目录价格规则不工作半天

Question

I'm facing a very very weird problem with Catalog price rules. They work only between 10:00 and 23:00 server time. So if i apply them between this period everything works great, but if i change the rules or reindex after 23:00 all prices will be back to normal. Also if i try to apply a rule outside that period the rule is not applied. I've installed Cron Doctor to see if there is any cron that runs at those times and nothing.

I'm running Magento 1.8.1.0.

Any ideas will be appreciated because i'm looking for over 4 days to find a solution.

Answer 1

For anyone facing this issue, your Default Store Timezone must match your server timezone.

Answer 2

Make sure cron.php has been scheduled for execution as per Magento recommendation.

Then check if all indexing are run as per crontab settings and all indexing complete there process.

Catalog rules are generally populated in DB table for 3 days so if no cron( Indexing ) has been executed for last three days then probably catalog rules might not be effective.
