unix - PHP CronJob doesn't work
776
I'm trying to set up a cronjob which sends me an email when it runs.
when I execute the file using a ssh command via PuTTY, it works, it also works when I set it up as an URL, but doesn't work when setting using absolute path.
Here is what all I've tried till now : Does work :
* * * * * http://example.com/cron/cron.php
Doesn't work :
* * * * * php /var/www/clients/client2/web6/web/global/cron/cron.php
* * * * * /var/www/clients/client2/web6/web/global/cron/cron.php
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/clients/client2/web6/web/global/cron/cron.php
All 3 that I listed in 'doesn't work' works when executed as commands through PuTTY
File permissions are all sorted out and are 777 for the cron file, and the directory it resides in.
I'm using IspConfig3 and Debian and Apache2, if that matters
EDIT : here's the code in cron.php :
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Cronjob <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
mail("[email protected]", "Cronjob Complete - ". date('d-m-Y'), "At".date("H:i:s"), $headers);
?>
