Cron 作业在 cpanel 中无法正常工作

Question

I have setup cron job, it is working properly, however when i directly runs the php file(from the path/url) it successfully runs, but from cron its not. However i set another very simple file to make sure my cron command/path is set correctly i created another file and used simple php mail function and its is running successfully. Kindly suggest me the possible areas to look into it. (I am using Cpanel)

Answer 1

Instead of putting in cronjob command like

php -f /path_to_script/script.php 

put command like this:

curl http://domain.com/yourscript.php

if you want to suppress output you can add > /dev/null at the end.

So full command would be:

curl http://domain.com/yourscript.php > /dev/null

Hope this helps!

As alternative to cURL, you can call your script through text-based browser. Something like this:

lynx -dump http://localhost/script.php

Answer 3

You shouldn't have any relative paths -- this includes both files and commands . For example, you shouldn't call just cp if you want to copy a file, but something like /bin/cp with the full path to the command. To find out the full path, you can run which <cmd> at the command line.

Answer 4

I have faced the same problem. I am using task scheduling in laravel project on cpanel. My command was

/usr/local/bin/php /home/user_name/public_html/path/to/cron/script

It is a version issue. My server default php version is 7.1.33 but in my project the php version is 7.2. So, when i run the schedule command it takes the php7.1 which is not compatible with my projecct. So, according to cpanel documentaions the command is actually for different php version

/usr/local/bin/ea-php99 /home/shadhinapp/domain_path/path/to/cron/script .

Any my cron job command is:

/usr/local/bin/ea-php72 /home/user_name/path_to_your_project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

curl http://mydomain/auto_push/task.php?p=1

This is live working code from my project. See the image below:
