    Hi I have CentMinMod running on centos 6 64bit

    I installed crontab and did crontab -e and added

    0 0 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 php -q /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/public/admindir/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

    I want it to run cron.php everyday at midnight.

    It's been 4 days now and it has not run yet.

    Does anyone know why?

    Thanks

    log shows crond service running fine :)

    Code:

    It says that but it's not actually running it on my billing system.

    If I run the cron manually by entering this url into my browser it runs fine and actually runs all the tasks.

    try running cronjob as nginx user and not root.. it's related to your php script so you'd have to work that out

    I found the problem.

    I made the cron output what goes on to pinpoint the issue

    50 20 * * * php -q /home/nginx/domains/my.domain.com/public/admindir/cron.php > /tmp/whatstheproblem.out 2>&1

    Then I opened whatstheproblem.out and it said this

    /bin/sh: php: command not found

    On Centminmod what should I use instead of php -q?

    --

    whereis php
    php: /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php /usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/local/php

    You can use any external cron(eg: easycron.com) try, which starts processes on the URL.
