Elastic beanstalk cron with laravel schedule

Question

I have just made two schedule in laravel. Register them in kernel like this

 $schedule->command('jobs:expire')->everyMinute();
 $schedule->command('jobs_schedule:notify')->everyMinute();

Made folder on root named .ebextensions and create file in it named cronjob.config with code below.

files:
  "/etc/cron.d/mycron":
    mode: "000644"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      * * * * * root . /opt/elasticbeanstalk/support/envvars && /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/project/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

commands:
  remove_old_cron:
    command: "rm -f /etc/cron.d/*.bak"

But it is not working on server. Other than that it runs through artisan command line successfully am mi missing out something?

Answer 1

It's highly likely you are running on Amazon Linux 2, in which case the environment variables are stored under /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env instead. Just replace the mentioned path in your config and you should be good.

Source: I followed similar guide and ran into the same issue.

Answer 2

I have the same problem. Laravel 7.29.3. EBS. PHP 7.4 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.3.6. Schedule exec but I think that env vars is not loading, because not connect with database. I can register in log messages.

My cronjob.config code:

files:
    "/etc/cron.d/schedule_run":
        mode: "000644"
        owner: root
        group: root
        content: |
            * * * * * root . /opt/elasticbeanstalk/deployment/env && /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan schedule:run 1>> /var/www/html/laralog.log 2>&1

commands:
    remove_old_cron:
        command: "rm -f /etc/cron.d/*.bak"

But a SQL error is generated at log.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused (SQL:...
