- Confirm that there is a "Run now" button for most (if not all) of the tasks.
- Click "Run now" for the "Forum mailings and maintenance jobs" task.
- On the confirmation prompt, confirm to run the task.
- Confirm that the task executes successfully without any errors (except maybe when the outgoing email settings have not been properly configured and that Moodle can't send email messages. This is fine. The important thing is that the task executes okay.)
- Go back to the Scheduled tasks page.
- Open another browser tab and go to Site administration > Server > System paths
- Remove the value in "Path to PHP CLI".
- Back on the Scheduled tasks page, click on "Run now" in any of the tasks listed.

- Leave the Path to PHP CLI setting blank.
