why a php script won't run when place in cron.. fine when i run it manually..

[gundamz]

Hi all,

I couldn't find any error to trace down the reason why my php script did not run though cron indicate that it was started. When i run the script manually, it works.

I couldn't remember what caused this.

If you try to run the script in the command line, in example:

php your_script.php

does it say any errors ?

Besides, check if there are several php installed.

You can try with:

whereis php


or with:

locate php

Did you restart crond? If yes, it is very likely the entry in crontab is not correct.

try php -q -f /home/{account}/public_html/{path_to_cron_script.php} OR lynx --dump http://www.yourdomain.com/{path_to_cron_script.php} in your crontab entry
