Cron jobs with Plesk

edited October 2014 in Troubleshooting

Hello,

I have followed all documentation regarding cron jobs, but cannot get any of them to work. This is particularly frustrating when trying to import subscribers.

To clarify, I have tried:

*/1 *   *   *   *   php /var/www/vhosts/mydata/myurl/import-csv.php > /dev/null 2>&1
*/1 *   *   *   *   wget -O - -q -t 1 http://myurl/import-csv.php

still neither work. Any suggestions? It is kind of vital to me that the cron jobs work, but so far I am struggling and my dedicated server managers also cannot understand why this is not working...

Many thanks,

b

  • Hi,

    Can you check with your host what is the full path to php so you can use the full path to php in your cron job command. Some servers requires the full path to php in the cron job command.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben

    Hi Ben, they said it is

    /usr/bin/php

    does that make sense to you?

    Cheers,

  • Yes it makes sense to me.

    Replace php with /usr/bin/php in your cron job command.
