Hi,

Looks like a permissions of file location error.

Try running
cd /home/mysite/www/

Then
php -C runcronjobs.php

Let me know what you get.

Hi Tony ...

But how do I do this in Crontab ?!

something like this :
cd /home/mysite/www/ ; php -C runcronjobs.php

This my cron :

*/5 * * * * php -C /home/mysite/www/runcronjobs.php

this will run runcronjobs.php each 5 minute !

should i change this to :

*/5 * * * * cd /home/mysite/www/;php -C runcronjobs.php

?!

or should i make *.sh file with this 2 line and put on crontab :

cd /home/mysite/www/
php -C runcronjobs.php

?!?

Selmah,

I would be careful running the cron as root, just in case.. I run

su -l --command='cd /xxx/; php -C runcronjobs.php 1>/xxx/ez_cron' xxuser

This means xxuser has only rights to the folder and not to the entire system... just in case :)

Try from the command line first then cron it...

I hope this helps

Selmah,

Once you have the cron working normally then you should try and lock it down further.
The risk of running a cron job as root is that someone could change or find a way of adding system commands to runcronjobs.php and these would then be run on your system as root user.

Note. The xxx was a directory where you have your project the xxuser is a user that has bash or a full shell access.
