you are likely starving your Mautic application with such a small amount of RAM. Regardless of fixing the cron jobs you should consider a larger VM.

if cron found to be not working then everything fails ( campaign failing to tag contacts appropriately ), 4GB to 8G RAM is recommended to start with.

Hello,

All, managed to resolve both issues here. The campaign tag was me using a condition rather than an action, as pointed out by someone on this forum.

I resolved the cron issue as it was a permissions problem.

Even though for me, 1GB seemed to be performing fine for campaigns with up to 1000 contacts. I’ve now increased to 2GB and will see how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestions.
