Have the module installed and configured. Shows up in the story content type form. (Also use JSCalendar)
But content is not publishing at the set time.
Checked the time zone setting in Site Config. It's OK.
Check Cron... seems to be fine. I run it manually to trigger the scheduler.
Also looked at the mysql file and setting are correct there per the readme.txt

So I don't know what's wrong. A couple of odd things... in a few posts here in past issues there are references to www.sitename.com/scheduler... I don't have a scheduler folder in that location. Did I miss something? The only scheduler folder i have in drupal/sites/all/modules/scheduler... and some of the files I've read about are not in there (timecheck?... and some kind of chron file?).
So maybe I was supposed to download something else and unzip it in my home directory?

Also, my PC is set to 24 hr time... so its 13:29 here. Could that have something to with it?

I see now, several hours later, that my scheduled posts have posted. It appears that they're following a different time zone even though I'm set to -5 in the Site Config. Is there another place I should be keying a time zone adjustment?

Try http://localhost/scheduler/timecheck and see that UTC and localtimes are as they should. Replace localhost with your site name if necessary.

Thanks, but I don't have a "scheduler" folder in that location on my sever... (if I do, it's hidden)...the only scheduler folder I can see is the one I installed in my modules folder... and it has no timecheck file.

Ok, this is going off-topic, but when a developer says try it, then try it ;)

You're obviously new to Drupal. Drupal core + different modules provide content to different locations through what we call a menu system. Drupal has index.php which routes requests to modules. File locations do not usually match url locations. There is no timecheck file in scheduler, the timecheck url hook is provided by scheduler.module. Please, consult Drupal documentation and try the support forums. I'm going to close this issue for now.

If the timecheck says your server time is OK and scheduler still mis-schedules your content, then it's a bug and time to reopen this issue.

I'd absolutely love to "try it". But how do I try it if the folder doesn't exist and the file doesn't exist? What I was advised to try was to run a file in a folder. Nobody said anything about hooks in the documentation I read. I've spent more than thirty hours reading Drupal documentation over the last two weeks.
Forgive me for reading a simple instruction and taking it to mean what it said and not reading several paragraphs of additional information into it.

I still have no idea how to do this timecheck.

And, yes, I'm new to Drupal. If I weren't new, I would not be posting here and getting grief from people for looking for some answers.

Ok, I see the misunderstanding. "Try it" means try the location in your browser, not try to execute it as a program.

If you've got Drupal up and running, and see something like http://localhost/node/XXX in your browser (or something like that), just replace the /node/XXX with /scheduler/timecheck . Chances are you get the timecheck page by clicking this link: http://localhost/scheduler/timecheck .

I'd still recommend that you ask help from anything listed on http://drupal.org/support before filing an issue. You're very likely to get much better service there.

Well, right now I'm using a temporary domain name... so it looks like this
http://vps2073.inmotionhosting.com/~sharpe5/drupal57/?q=node/6

If I put /scheduler/timecheck in there like this...
http://vps2073.inmotionhosting.com/~sharpe5/drupal57/scheduler/timecheck

Nothing happens... but, novice though I am, that makes sense to me. There isn't any folder called "scheduler" in the drupal57 folder. Maybe this is one of those situations where it's better to know nothing than know a little... so my assumptions are confusing me? In any case, it doesn't do anything.

Also tried it this way
http://vps2073.inmotionhosting.com/~sharpe5/scheduler/timecheck
and this way...
http://vps2073.inmotionhosting.com/scheduler/timecheck

Nothing happens.

(the "localhost" version gets me a "cannot establish a connection to the server at localhost")

As for "filing an issue"... I didn't know that was what I was doing. I just clinked a link that said "support."
I'm slowly realizing that this whole Drupal world is simply not intended for non-programmers.

Ok, you haven't enabled clean urls, that's why my suggestions didn't work. Try http://vps2073.inmotionhosting.com/~sharpe5/drupal57/?q=scheduler/timecheck .

OK, that worked. Thanks. The server local time is off a few hours. UT is right. Will have them change it.
Sorry for all the whining.
I do intend to turn on clean urls also soon.
