Most people do not include the correct crunch bang in their code to make the file work simply by making it executable. (chmod a+x /path/to/file)

If the file does not have the crunch bang (#!/usr/bin/php -q (for php))
then you can execute it by prefixing with php, and the file does not need to be executable.

Sounds like you are getting along just fine.

I have 4 other php scripts running without the wget or the php.  The
script is running.  I looked at the owner and permissions on another
php script that is working via cron and it was owned : user:apache and
has permissions of -rwxr-xr-x .  I changed both and now the script
runs.

I have always thought you need wget at the start of the cron string.
However I did not add it to any of the user crontabs.

The first line of my script is #!/usr/bin/php -q.  Doesn't that cause
the script to run via PHP?

I'm still curious why the failed attempt by cron to run the script did
not show up in the logs?  /var/lib/cron

Thank you for your help!!

Just to be clear, is this a command line php script?

If so, you need to execute it with php first.

36 * * * * php /path/to/script/script.php


If this is a php web page, you need wget or curl to get it
36 * * * * wget http://yourdomain.com/script.php

Hi,

I'm on CentOS 6.6 and created a user crontab ( crontabe -e ). I added
the line to run a PHP script at 36 after the hour.

36 * * * * /path/to/script/script.php

Had a path wrong so it was failing.

Was looking in /var/log/cron and it did not show the error.

What am I missing?

Thanks!!
Keith
