Why this script is working but my cron isn't?

Question

I try to create a cron on a server (I should have right on it).

This is my script cron.php :

<?php
    echo "CRON OK \n";
?>

I connect with SSH and create the following cron with crontab -e :

* * * * * php /home/myname/www/cron.php

But I don't know how to save it.. Anyway I save the crontab at the default location /tmp/crontab.XAblsdZ/crontab , the server tell me "crontab: installing new crontab" and when I execute crontab -l I can see * * * * * php /home/myname/www/cron.php .

I also try my script : php /home/myname/www/cron.php The server display "CRON OK" so I guess it works.

But without this command I can't see any "CRON OK" displayed... Am I missing something ? How to enable this cron and execute my script every minute?

Answer 1

either add #!/usr/bin/php as suggested or you could add it to your crontab, make sure the /usr/bin/php is actually the right path to your PHP.

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/myname/www/cron.php

The cron line looks good to execute every minute though.

Answer 2

尝试将其添加到cron.php的开头：

#!/usr/bin/php
