PHP致命错误：require_once（）：必须打开失败

Question

I'm just trying to create a file to be run from a cron job but however I'm getting the below error log.

PHP Warning: require(../app/src/app.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/mosto.in/manual/gateway.php on line 4 PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../app/src/app.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/mydomain.in/manual/gateway.php on line 4

My gateway.php file

set_time_limit(0); require('../app/src/app.class.php');

I'm confused if I'm running the same file on my ssh server using the below path the file not generating any errors & working very fine.

*cd /var/www/mosto.in/manual/ *php gateway.php

Crontab

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/mosto.in/manual/gateway.php > /var/log/gateway.log 2>&1

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your problem is most likely that the working directory for the cron daemon is not the same as when you execute it manually. See if this works:

* * * * * cd /var/www/mosto.in/manual/ && /usr/bin/php gateway.php > /var/log/gateway.log 2>&1

If it does, I'd consider moving the cd and php call into a script file and calling that from your crontab instead - but that might just be me :p

Answer 2

When you execute a script through shell / crontab, the best way to call required files are to give absolute paths in the require() or require_once() statements.

require('/var/www/mosto.in/app/src/app.class.php');

Hope this will work for you.
