I need the php path, and to run a cronjob

Trinitalian · November 8, 2005, 2:01am

Hi,

I’m new to HSphere, and only a little familiar with CPanel from prior experiences.

I need to set up a crontab entry, but I don’t see a crontab/cronjob manager in my HSphere control panel. ?(

Also, I need to know the actual php path for the cronjob. Is it /usr/bin/php?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paula.

Look under the FTP manager for Cron.

Not sure about the PHP path.

Your Welcome.

Strange place to have it. It took me a while to find it!

Now if I can just find what the path to the php interpreter is… ???

Check the phpinfo()?

Sorry. I’m only a beginner at this stuff. How/where do I check the phpinfo()?

Thanks, but I did get this sorted out with Jodohost support.

Their recommendation was to use the following in cron:

/usr/bin/wget -o /hsphere/local/home/username/cron.log yoursite.com

Thanks anyway,
Paula.

According to Jodohost support…

[indent]Please setup cron with the following command:
“/usr/bin/wget -o/dev/null -O- yoursite.com”

We donot have PHP installed in CGI mode, thus there is no PHP binary.[/indent]

I hope that helps
Paula.
