Cron Activation Script

Hi Community,

We have projeqtoria v12.1.1 and we are using a php script which check projeqtor cron running status and if it'is not active then it runs it.

We use the script mentionned here  (just modified the line "$fullUrl=$siteUrl."api/Cron/check";" to this "$fullUrl=$siteUrl."api/index.php?uri=Cron/check";") and it was working since we had v11 then suddenly when we upgraded to version 12.1.0 we have got the error from the apache error log:

"AH01617: user projeqtor_cron: authentication failure for "/projeqtor/api/index.php": Password Mismatch"

Although, the password located into .htpasswd file is the same as the password added to the script and also the user is already created into projeqtor.

Please I need your help.
