If you run: /path/to/your/php ‘path/to/cron.php’ does that work?
hello, in a similar situation again, cron not working. I have set root file in crontab folder.
If i run - /path/to/your/php ‘path/to/cron.php’ on console. The job runs successfully. But not via crontab
its Ubuntu 16.04, php7.1, apache2
since i can run the command in console successfully, what else do you think could be the reason?
thats what i did as per my first message above, which did not work. Do you mean /path/to/your/php ‘path/to/cron.php’ without cron expression in front of it?
