runcronjobs - crontab

Thursday 27 January 2011 11:23:00 am

Hi there,

I installed all2egooglemaps extension to generate a sitemap.xml file. When I launch the script manually from the shell it generates the file as expected.

php runcronjobs.php googlesitemaps

I want it to be generated/updated at regular intervals of time and so added it to the crontab file /Exponential.cron:

# Instruct cron to run the "googlesitemaps" set of cronjobs
# at 00:00pm every day
0 0 * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php -q googlesitemaps 2>&1

so that it can be run every day at midnight. But it doesn't work.

Set the actual ez path and php command line programs

# This must be set to the directory where Exponential is installed.
EZPUBLISHROOT=/var/www/vhosts/domainname.net/httpdocs/

# Location of the PHP Command Line Interface binary.
PHP=/usr/bin/php

The /etc/cron.deny file is emply and this shouldn't prevent it from running, right?

Why shouldn't it run?

Thanks!

Hi Romeo, thanks a lot for your reply.

I got the php location by launching the command from the shell:

# which php
/usr/bin/php

Tried to restart cron daemon, but the sitemap doesn't update itself at the set interval of time, yet.

(set to run every 5 minutes while testing it)

5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * cd $EZPUBLISHROOT && $PHP runcronjobs.php -q -s ita googlesitemaps 2>&1

...

What's wrong?!
