Cronjob not running

I had a cronjob that was running perfectly fine til a few days ago. In my script, I was including a few WordPress start up files like so:

include $path . ‘wp-config.php’; include $path . ‘wp-load.php’; include $path . ‘wp-includes/wp-db.php’; include $path . ‘wp-includes/pluggable.php’;

Since it stopped working, I try running the php script manually from command line, and it doesn’t work either.

After some investigation, it looks like these two file includes are causing issues. include $path . ‘wp-config.php’; include $path . ‘wp-load.php’;

But I couldn’t figure out exactly what or why because it was working fine just a few days ago and I haven’t changed the script. The only things I have done recently were install sendmail and rebooted my droplet.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
