After Creating campaign and placing it in queue for processing. phplist does not starts processing queue. the status shows - submitted
P.S I have set cron to process queue every 5 mins.
cron tabs -
*/5 * * * * phplistprocess > /dev/null 2>&1
0 3 * * * phplistbounces > /dev/null 2>&1
my phplistprocess is executable file that contains
#!/bin/bash
/opt/bitnami/php/bin/php /opt/bitnami/apps/phplist/htdocs/admin/index.php -pprocessqueue -c/opt/bitnami/apps/phplist/htdocs/config/config.php
likewise phplistbounces
so, if i go to command line and type phplistprocess, queue processing starts immediately and runs as per throttle limit.
my config.php
