cron.php working only manually

[giiiggz]

Hi,

I really need your help !
For several days I fail to understand why the cron.php file no longer trigger processing when called with my cron job. That's my line in the crontab :
0 */1 * * * wget -O /dev/null http://www.domains.com/cron.php

However, when I call the url in a browser , this one works fine.
In the http logs, i see the calls to the file cron.php every hour. But it is certain that no processing is performed.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi giiiggz,

You could try instead of calling the cron via wget - calling it via the file path..

e.g something like

/usr/bin/php -f /path/to/mydomain.com/public_html/cron.php

Also, another great module that I use to debug why my crons don't sometimes work is AOE Scheduler (https://github.com/AOEpeople/Aoe_Scheduler). Once installed there will be a timeline view inside of the Sytem menu of your admin. This will show you which tasks are going to run / have ran / will be run - along with any errors they produced.

If the timeline stays blank after 15 minutes or so then your cron isn't setup right on your server.

How to call cron.php is depend on your server.

Some wget, php, curl..etc.. many commands are capable of sending a output to a email address.. so you can try the command matching your server
