[PHP] cron job for php not working
Hi there, I am trying to install following cron job: 0 6 * * * php /home/www/project/app_cron/follow_up_new_members.php The script works, if I run this php /home... line manually it works out, but it does not automaticaly at 6 am as supposed. I do also see in /var/log/messages that the cron job has happened at that time, but the file did not generate the emails like it supposed to. I am running the crontab as webserver user.

Mine is actually #!/usr/bin/php. Then chmod 755 the file so that it can execute. James Hicks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] cron job for php not working
It looks like that cron line is making it so that the command runs as the user php... so, you should check if that user has permission to run the script. Tim.
