If you run: /path/to/your/php ‘path/to/cron.php’ does that work?
the previous server (some other hosting company) where i used to run cron for this script , the code goes like
-
-
-
-
- /opt/php70/bin/php 'path/to/cron/script >/dev/null 2>&1
-

the cron used to work fine there.
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?
