I try to run a php file from a cron but this not work
sudo service cron status cron start/running, process 1447
crontab -e
- 12,19 * * * /usr/bin/php5 /var/www//html/folder/phpscript.php > /var/log/file.log
I test with differents setups but none worked.
- 12,19 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www//html/folder/phpscript.php
- 12,19 * * * php /var/www//html/folder/phpscript.php
- 12,19 * * * curl -k https://domain.com/folder/phpscript.php
- 12,19 * * * wget https://domain.com/folder/phpscript.php
When run the command over sheel it works: /usr/bin/php5 /var/www//html/folder/phpscript.php
Even when I setup a cron like * * * * * echo ‘This is a test’ > /var/log/file.log, it works.
