Cron jobs will not run.

[wdalessi]

Hello,

 

I have tried to get the cron jobs to run, but with no luck. I seem to be following thw direction properlyl

 

I am using "DirectAdmin" on Fedora 4

 

I setup in the admin account to run and test:

 

php -q /home/*****/domains/*******/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php

 

I get emails back:

 

Cron <admin@cp> php -q /home/*****/domains/*******/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php

 

/bin/sh: php: command not found

 

 

If I try to run the command in quotes""

 

"php -q /home/*****/domains/*******/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php"

 

 

I get email saying:

 

 

/bin/sh: php -q /home/*****/domains/*******/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php : No such file or directory

 

If I run the "Get" version of setting up the CRON job, I do not get any email back at all. I think that also means it is failing to run.

 

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.

 

Bill

wdalessi,

 

What happens if you run the command from tcl in ssh?

 

Run your command minus the cron timings at tcl:

 

php -q /home/*****/domains/*******/public_html/whmcs/admin/cron.php

 

Then check in WHMCS>UTILITIES>Activity Log to see if it has run.

Thanks for the help.

 

I fanally got the cron jobs to run.

 

How often should they run.

 

Every hour?

 

Every few hours?

 

Every few minutes?

 

Thanks again for any help you can offer.
