Problems running runcronjobs.php

Alright, M :)

I am sorry that your having so much trouble. It is a fairly simple solution on a server with fewer restrictions than your shared host.

I'm not certain if my original glibc build of the php-cli binary would be binary compatible with FreeBSD, I kinda doubt it off hand. Further more you really do need to install (in some way) the php-cli application to run these cron jobs (from the reading I've done to date).

I would ask your hosting provider to install a separate php cli binary application for you to use.

I would tell them ...that if they are unwilling to support you in this regard that you will have little option but to find one which will, go ahead and tell them there are several who specifically do this and your only hanging around because you ... liked their corporate vision to quality custom support on an individual basis.

This should be even more simpler for them to do on FreeBSD than other linux (rpm) distributions because of the /usr/src/ports tree system.

If they refuse to install the application and you have ftp access, you can try to compile and ftp in a (custom freebsd specific) version of the php-cli binary. But it could be time intensive :(

I still think I could get you a better hosting solution that gives you the freedom to do this entirely yourself without the headaces.

I have the same problem: The php cli is not available on my hosting provider.

I found (and I use) a solution at http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/cron_jobs

I put this code on my index.php and it work ok.

Marat,

While I enjoy (at times) our little talks :)

I keep getting the impression you don't remember talking with me, here:
http://www.ez.no/community/forum/general/running_ez_publish_scripts_via_the_command_line

When I was trying to '<i>sell</i>' you on just one of the many reasons to acquire eZ publish hosting ( you can get 3months for $60 (at about 19.99 a month)) from a provider who will aid you in your efforts not hinder you.

I still think, as I did then, that <b>anyone</b> who does <i>not</i> have root access to their eZ publish hosting server or a support staff which is willing to install php-cli on their behalf is being <i>ripped off</i>! Period :P Still... http://www.ez.no/partner/partner_list/(partner)/hosting/(sort)/name

<i>I can only show you the door</i>, you have to decide for yourself what is worth more: your time or money?

I think you know, I don't want to be getting calls out from these forums for dev requests like this, nor do I wish to lower my dev rates for a request which really stems from a much larger problem which is cheaper to solve by switching to an eZ publish friendly hosting provider particularly an eZ publish Hosting Partner, than to pay me to fix your hosting service configuration, but I'd do it if you were so inclined. See I've worked with people who would be so stubborn as to pay more for the lesser solution, you asked for it, so I educated you on just how much it takes for the kracker to get down to the kitty gritty, which in turn shows you how much more cost effective my original solution really is .....

Derick warns, that this patch might not always work : http://ez.no/community/bugs/patch_for_systems_without_phpcli

While I vehemently respect your cement brick mindset and determination, it has led both of us down this thread again towards the same answer :(

Best Wishes,

Sorry, but it doesn't work. I did all in full accordance with the tips but nothing.

Thank you for your help.
