cron job help

Wrong cron command. cd/usr/bin/php -q /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/cron.php

What command would I please use and how many * * * * *

error msg i

/bin/sh: cd/usr/bin/php: No such file or directory

You are missing a space after cd

Should be cd /usr/bin/php -q /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/cron.php

If your on terabyte. the proper command is.

cd /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/cron.php

Bless your heart D:) tyvm

Hi D I still get an error Not a directory after putting in cd /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/cron.php

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /usr/bin/php: Not a directory

Opps, that line is not right. Give me a minute, i will get back to you. I have to look mine up.

Ok. try it this way instead. I was not paying attention to that line you posted and things are apparently reversed. The line as dolphin recommends would look like this.


cd /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php



But i have mine setup like this and it also works.

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/cron.php

Is this witch the five * before?
mine look sthis *****/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/public_html/periodic/cron.php 

But video processing is not working.

The 5 * are not to appear as part of the command line Unless of course your looking at the actual cron file itself.

If your doing this from cpanal. The stars are the time settings that the cron is to run which means every minute, hour, day, month and weekday.

oke  I try without them...

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /usr/bin/php: Not a directory

im going now to look at what your setting should be

after these messages ^ we'll be right back

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /usr/bin/php: Not a directory

ok give this one a try;

cd /home/lworld/public_html/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

because look at what you have there you are trying to change directory to the path of php rather than change the directory to the path where the file is at that is going to fire the cron job.

Look up dos. I mentioned that already. LOL. At least she might not miss it.

oke now i could upload and view a small video... but got different big emails  with errors.
Have set in php.ini on runtime version op gpc , but this can be have other  problems for my other domains under 6.1.6

keep looking further on this.

D no emails with cd /home/lworld/public_html/periodic/; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php I have been waiting for an email and have it set to  *****

I will need to talk to DosDawg about the settings.
