cron job setup

I created a new site with a sub domain but the cron job does not seem to work
cron.log is empty
cron_wget.log is empty

this is my setup:

PHP:

https://analytics.mywebsite.net/console.php core:archive --url=https://analytics.mywebsite.net/ > /dev/null

and if I change the cron job command to this, I get "/bin/bash: /web/console: Permission denied"

PHP:

[web_root]/console.php core:archive --url=https://analytics.mywebsite.net/ > /dev/null

the app I am ruining is matomo analytics

I have two different sites on this account with two different shell users
content of file /etc/cron.d/ispc_web7

PHP:

MAILTO=''
SHELL='/bin/sh'

*/3     *       *       *       *       web7    /usr/bin/wget --no-check-certificate --user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0' -q -t 1 -T 7200 -O
/var/www/clients/client3/web7/private/cron_wget.log 'https://analytics.mywebsite.net/console.php core:archive --url=https://analytics.mywebsite.net/ > /dev/null' >>/var/www/clients/client3/web7/private/cron.log
2>>/var/www/clients/client3/web7/private/cron_error.log #analytics.mywebsite.net


 

the first one probably won't work, the core:archive part and the rest won't be passed as argv to console.php but likely be expanded as very long and invalid filename.

if you have different users sharing the same file they need to be either in the same group ( client1.... ) or you need to manually add them to a shared group and change the permissions on the file to 770 to allow owner+group execution. Just remember, console.php needs read+write access to filesystem.

If you use [web_root]/...php to execute it, make sure it actually defines a valid php-exec
it should have

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

as the first 3 lines.
if it just starts with <?php
use
/usr/bin/php [web_root]/console.php core:archive --....

 

so basically what I have is two websites in the same account and two different shell users for each website

is this why I'm getting

PHP:

/bin/bash: /web/console: Permission denied

and when I change the file permission to read+write+execute ( 700)
I get

PHP:

 /bin/bash: /web/console: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory 

ls -l /usr/bin/env

PHP:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31496 Feb 22  2017 /usr/bin/env

and If I change the cron command to

PHP:

 [web_root]/console core:archive --url=https://analytics.mywebsite.net/ > /dev/null

I get this... /etc/cron.d/ispc_chrooted_web7

 

after adding /usr/bin/php I don't get any more error messages, not sure if it's working or not

 

you could add some simple
<?php echo "I'm done"; ?> somewhere in the code to let it display some text on the screen when run.
But great you made it
