Cron Job无法在具有Curl的（Ubuntu Linux 10.04.1）服务器上运行吗？

Question

I'm trying to run a cleanup.php script on a Magento site hosted on Ubuntu Linux 10.04.1 the script command is:

curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.domain.com/cleanup.php?clean=log

and the script:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/maintenance_script.

I have this script and command working on another server (1and1 shared)

I have had a look around the forums Cron job in Ubuntu and tried different command versions but can't get it to run ? Curl is enabled on the server.

Can anybody help ? Many thanks

Answer 1

Am I the only one who spotted that the URL the cronjob is trying to call has "http://" repeated twice at the start?

Not the critical error, but still...

Answer 2

Apparently you don't have curl installed. :)

You may try to use whereis curl to let system check it for you.

Make sure you have installed this package (or 32b alternative).

Or you can just use wget what is common linux CLI tool for such a tasks.
