Cron Job

[jonpugh114]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a cron job using Plesk but I'm having trouble getting it to work.

I think the problem is in stating the path to PHP and the path to the script, does anyone know how I'd find out what the paths are?

Cheers,

Jon

In cPanel => /usr/local/bin/php -f path-to-your-php-file.php
in Plesk => /usr/bin/php -f path-to-your-php-file.php

You can also directly use wget URL-to-your-php-file.php

try from a shell which php to find the path to the interpreter

the path to the actual script, put this in it and run through web browser

<?php
echo __FILE__;

Be aware, relative filepaths don't behave the same when you run php via the command line. It may use a seperate php.ini file as well.
