来自cpanel的php cron作业无法正常工作。 电子邮件中没有错误

Question

I have uploaded a simple cron.php with insert in mySQL database.

cron.php

#!/bin/bash
mysql --user=[myUsernameToDatabase] --password=[myPasswordToDatabase] --database=[myDatabaseName] --execute="INSERT INTO room (room_name,room_guid) VALUES ('test', 'testing')"

I have added this in cpanel -> Cron Jobs

Common Settings: one minute

Command: /usr/bin/php -q /home/myUsername/public_html/cron.php

I receive email every minute with the code I added in cron jobs -> Command and no error. But nothing is added in my database.

My test query works fine if I run it in my database

INSERT INTO room (room_name,room_guid) VALUES ('test', 'testar')

Answer 1

You're trying to run a bash shell script as PHP , which simply won't work. There are a few things you need to do before this can even have a chance of executing successfully:

1. Rename cron.php to cron.sh

2. DO NOT put the script in your `public_html` directory. 
   locate it somewhere not public (eg. /home/myUsername/scripts/).

3. Try using this in your crontab:
   /bin/sh /home/myUsername/scripts/cron.sh 2>&1

At the very least this should get things in a better position to work properly.
