Did you see the message from the OP, Xiaofeng Liu, of how he solved it (for his specific situation)?
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cfaussie/Ug1tjCcUXCk/RLsTij8XBAAJ He solved it by changing the URL (in the sched task) to be the IP address of the machine (not localhost or 127.0.0.1). If that’s not your solution/issue, did you assess the first few other answers, which addressed more typical explanations for problems of a sched task URL not working though a browser one does? /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allan Cliff Sent: Friday, December 8, 2017 09:11 AM To: cfaussie <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Re[2]: [cfaussie] CF11 Scheduled Task Not Running - 401 Unauthorized Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? Having exactly the same problem here. Local IP address url calls to another server (Windows 2012 R2) from the browser work as expected. Also urls in my desktop browser (via VPN). When I put the url into a scheduled tasks, I just get 401 every time. Any solution would be appreciated.

So that was the URL I specified in CF Admin. That threw 401 to me. Also I tested from the browser by accessing the same URL which is "http://localhost:1981/cron/schedTask.cfm"; (normal and icognito mode) and it is working fine. So now I have to update the URL to use the server's public IP address in CF Admin and it works. I don't understand why CF running locally on the same server has to use the external IP, I mean not the localhost to run the sched task that is also on the same server? Given that localhost is also in the host file. Cheers, Xiaofeng -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
