On the cron server, I have the ping to my worker configured. I have a gree light that it is active. And if I hit the url, I can see the response.

However, the cron server gives the error:
The Cron Worker is NOT running - Cron Jobs are not updating

Additionally, nothing shows in the LAST RESPONSE column. I can't tell if its working or not.

Also, not sure what "start cron worker" does.

So the "cron worker" runs on the cron server - it's basically the process that does the "pinging" of the remote server. It can take up to 60 seconds for the cron worker to settle in to it's routine, but that's about the max of it. I've never seen it not work - the only thing I can think of is that the server is overloaded and Apache is killing processes (which includes the cron worker).

The server is not being used yet; and it's only configured to as a queue server. Nothing else. I don't see anything in the apache log. Resource utilization is low. Can you tell me where I would see the error logged?

Also, can you confirm what server components must be installed and what ports need to be available on both the the Cron server and the target server?

It uses standard HTTP (port 80).

If you're not using it, turn the Cron Server off.
