Sending newsletter

[rizwiz]

Hello,
is there a way to send the newsletter without schedule it?
Like a "send it now" bottom or something
Thanks

Don't change the time/date when creating a campaign, when you click the "send campaign" button it will send immediately.

Thanks @Rob for your answer - but looks like no test campaign has been sent.
The delivery server is correctly configured (or at least, it seems to be)
On the log of the mailserver I don't see any connection, it looks like MW isn't able to connect to the delivery server (but should be, because during the setup everything was OK)

If no campaign is being sent, most likely your server does not trigger the cron job for sending campaigns.
There's this article: https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/my-campaigns-dont-send-theyre-stuck-in-pending-sending-status.2/ that explains what's the deal with the cron jobs and also there's this one: https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/debug-send-campaigns-command.523/ that explains how to trigger the sending campaigns command manually to see what's happening.

Thanks again @twisted1919
..and in fact, you're right:

# ls /var/www/html/mwz/latest/apps/console/console.php
ls: cannot access /var/www/html/mwz/latest/apps/console/console.php: No such file or directory

Sorry for stupid error.

# /usr/bin/php5 -q /apps/console/console.php send-campaigns --verbose=1

But it's still unable to send the campaign.

It seems it can't find a delivery server. How are we with this? Do you have one and active?

Sorry and thank you again for you patience.
