Cronjob setup

[Joey_M]

I'm trying to properly set up the cronjob function for the task processing. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I have asked my host to run the command, they tried and came back to me with this.

I placed the ******** instead of my folder's name for privacy reasons.

Hello,


I don't see any output

CT-0c4ade65-cf92-4b07-ac22-bd868cb51047 /$ /opt/cpanel/ea-php81/root/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=-1 -d max_execution_time=0 /home/********/public_html/applications/core/interface/task/task.php f50001a0169084fe56922c2232173e65
CT-0c4ade65-cf92-4b07-ac22-bd868cb51047 /$

Regards,

They've suggested that I speak to the support here.

You're not expected to see any output, so whatever they are troubleshooting then it's not a valid troubleshooting step.

Is there an issue with the job running? Are your tasks in the ACP running or not?

How do I know if it's properly setup? Sorry, I don't get this type of stuff.

Go into your ACP, type 'tasks' into the search bar and click the relevant result.

Check if the tasks are running by viewing the date information for their last/next run.

It doesn't seem to be running, but I can do it manually. I'm not sure how to proceed from here?

If it's a VPS or dedicated server, In the /var/log directory there should be a cron log.  Its usually "cron" or "cron.log".  It will list each cron job's run time and possibly error output.

If it's not, and you're running this from something like cPanel cron screen, I've found that sometimes you need to replace the entire php "path/php" with just "php".  If you get stuck, worst case let it run based on traffic.

I managed to set up a Cronjob where the tasks seem to update, but it didn't help resolve the reason why I wanted to make the switch.

I also checked the /var/ there's no log folder. Just one for cpanel. 😞
