allworknoplay Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think you have to use the actual directory on your server, not the full URL... I could be wrong though, I've never used cron via cPanel, only through the command line since I have full access to my server....

timmah1 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 On my cron jobs, this is the format I use php -q /home/**USERNAME**/public_html/testing/cron/cron_job.php Then on your cron_job.php page, this at the top #!/usr/local/bin/php -q Not this /usr/local/bin/php -q http://mysite.com/testing/cron/cron_job.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157092-major-problems-with-cron/#findComment-827623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

allworknoplay Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Probably because your PHP isn't in your server variable environment. So you can either edit your BASH and include it or you have to include the full path of your PHP. So ex: /usr/local/php/bin/php -q /home/tcrush/public_html/cron/cron.php That should work for you.
