So i've been kicking around with this cron job for a few days, and i am recieving error after error. I would prefer to run the job without the use of a browser type program, so that i can block access to the php script from the web. I am currently running a simple phpmailer script every 2 minutes for testing purposes, and i am getting a server 500 error. there is nothing in the code that could be failing, so i was looking for some input.

 

USING

- Apache 2.0 handler

- CentOS

- Plesk 8x

- VPS server

 

My current command is:

2 * * * * wget https://www.domain.com/admin/office/cron-jobs/test-2.php

 

I have also tried:

2 * * * * curl https://www.domain.com/admin/office/cron-jobs/test-2.php

 

And even:

2 * * * * /var/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/admin/office/cron-jobs/test-2.php

 

The last was an attempt to avoid the browser systems all together.

 

The result of the cURL was the most profitable showing (cron log email):

<address>Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at www.domain.com Port 80</address> </body></html>

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the wget resulted in this error

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

--10:10:01--  https://www.domain.com/admin/office/cron-jobs/ad-expired-notice.php

Resolving www.domain.com... Connecting to www.domain.com|ipaddress|:443... connected.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error

10:10:01 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

And when tested in the browser manually, all the test scripts work 100%

 

 

The test Script

<?php
require('/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$msg = '<p>TEST EMAIL # 2 FROM CRON JOBS</p>';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Dude'); 
$mail->From = '[email protected]';
$mail->FromName = 'Dudes [email protected]';
$mail->Subject = '# 2 YOUR TEST!';
$mail->Body = $msg;
$mail->isHTML = true;
$mail->AltBody = text;
$mail->Send();	
?>

 

 

 

Any ideas guys??

Thanks thorpe!! I just figured it out 5 minutes ago!! lol - i appreciate the help though  ;)

 

Everything seems to be running perfectly! I will try to block access to these scripts using .htaccess deny from all  - - or do you think i would be better served to use another method?? I have seen a $_SERVER[''] method somewhere, but i can't recall the exact syntax for this. The .htaccess method would stop the script from even attempting to run or performing any evaluations, so i figured it may be more efficient.
