Setting cron job using codeigniter

Question

I have a function that I want to execute through cron. If I simply hit the url www.example.com/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function

This function executes fine, if I set it on cron does not work.

I tried setting this as

public_html/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function

and this through such error message

public_html/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function: Not a directory

Can anyone help me how to set this on cron?

Answer 1

At first try to run that controller method in CLI mode. In console, go to your project directory an then run your script in CLI mode:

    cd TestProjests/codeigniter
    php index.php controller function

If this will work, insert the same line to crontab, but with absolute path:

    php /path_to_your_projects/TestProjests/codeigniter/index.php controller function

**   hi dude try this **

curl http://nztdemo.com/TestProjects/ERP/cron/index

Answer 3

The path public_html/TestProject/... is almost certainly a relative path from your user directory. You can use wget in your cron to hit the url:

* * * * * wget http://www.example.com/cronscript > /dev/null

Alter the time above to let it run as much as you like

在执行空格后使用系统路径到文件名和函数名，它应如下所示：

php /var/www/path/to/controller/classFile functionName
