JSS CSS not loading

[raghavmp79]

Hello,

I have installed Magento2 and it installed witout any issues. But when I access my website and admin site, it's not loading CSS and JSS.

I have gone through with the forum and found found that I need to run 

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

But I have installed it on shared server and I do not have Shell/SSH Access.

Now how can I run this command in cPanel? can I use cron to do this? If Yes how?

Thanks,

Raghavendra

You can ask your cPanel (Hosting) Provider to give yave Shell/SSH Access, because its needed to run commands.

if you run this command using cron as of now that might  work , but every time when you change something from backend of Magento you also needs to run few commands like reindex , cache:clean and cache:flush etc.

so its quite difficult to manage all the commands run using cron. So better option would be ask your hosting provider to give you Shell/SSH access to run the commands.

I agree with @Manthan Dave that you will need SSH Access to run Magento 2 properly. 

You can use a cron to run it and then remove the cron but it will make your life very difficult.

 Thanks @Manthan Dave & @JLHC for your reply.

for temporary I want to use cron command to run statis:deploy command, so that my website should start running.

So can you please guide me what is cron command for it.

Meanwhile I will try to get Shell/SSH access from my hosting provider.

Thanks,

Even though you would like to run command with cron , you still needed SSH/Shell access to add the values into crontab.

if you go with custom module for crontab you still required SSH/Shell access to run command php bin/magento setup:upgrade to install that module.

so wait for until you get SSH/Shell access , because its must required.

Create a one custom.php file in root and write below code to file.

<?php
    $command = 'php bin/magento setup:upgrade';
    echo '<pre>' . shell_exec($command) . '</pre>';
    $command = 'php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f';
    echo '<pre>' . shell_exec($command) . '</pre>';
?>

Run custom.php file by http://yourbaseurl/custom.php

It will resolve you Css and Js loading issue.
