How to make Drupal $ base_url work for cron?

How to get $ base_url to show the correct url of my Drupal site when I start cron? Do I have to set global $ base_url manually for this to happen? Should I run a cron job as a registered user?

When I start mysite.com/cron.php manually, everything works fine: $ base_url is set to the correct URL. However, when I run a similar command via cron or drush, $ base_url is set to the common "http: // default".

The funny thing is that when I start cron manually as a registered user from within Drupal (for example, using devel), $ base_url aways points to the correct URL.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Leo

Your cron may be configured incorrectly.

You can use wget or curl, which is basically the same as running cron manually. Something like that:

5 * * * * wget http://example.com/cron.php

Perhaps you are using drupal.sh, which claims that you should use "http: //default/cron.php as a URI". This will disrupt the processing of $ base_url. The following may work with drupal.sh.

5 * * * * /path/to/drupal.sh --root /home/site/public_html/ http://example.com/cron.php

When using drush, you may need the -uri argument:

drush --uri=http://example.com cron

You can also just set the $ base_url variable in settings.php (this is the absolutely correct way to do this, not hack).
