ISPC 3.0.4.5: Cron Jobs don't work

Hi, I have trouble with the cron jobs.

I have installed ISPC on debian squeeze following falko's perfect server How-To (thanks!)

I created the cron job in ISPC config under the proper user (web7)

syslog is telling me the following:

I also tried to change /usr/bin/php into /var/www/clients/client1/web7/usr/bin/php but the log stays the same, I presume both resolve to the chrooted shell.

Exit status 17 baffles me a little, according to
http://www.visualcron.com/ExitCodes.aspx
it means "The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive." ??
(even more baffling, I was unable to find another cron exit codes list on the internet)

Anyway, I don't know what's wrong.

I checked the log in /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log, and it says:

I have no idea what these things mean and if that is the cause of my crons not working.
Who can help?
Thank you

 

grep web7 /etc/passwd outputs:

 

the file
/var/www/clients/client1/web7/usr/bin/php
does exist

I tried just putting http:// path to the script, but it doesn't work either. CRON now exits with code 8 "not enough storage" ??

 

hmmm... I edited /etc/crontab and put it there to run under user web7, and sure enough it ran.

so why doesn't it run when set inside ISPConfig?

 

Did you have a look into the /etc/cron.d/ispc_webXX or ispc_chrooted_webX file? Everything correct in there?

 

it *looks* correct:

(domain being the domain setup on web7)

 

Just to be a bit off-topic:
Maybe this could be automatically done by ISPC when using a chrooted cron. Just replace all "web root" paths with /

 

ok, I tried /usr/bin/php /web/cronjobs/il_test.php

and also just /web/cronjobs/il_test.php

neither works, both exit with code 17.

 

Ok, maybe try this:

usermod -s /usr/sbin/jk_chrootsh web7

su web7

/usr/bin/php /web/cronjobs/il_test.php

Maybe this gives any more hints. Don't forget to reset the Shell to /bin/false afterwards.

usermod -s /bin/false web7

 

when I do what you wrote, I get the error message "could not open input file: /web/cronjobs/cron_test.php"

BUT:
running /usr/bin/php /var/www/clients/client1/web7/web/cronjobs/cron_test.php
does work.
(I setup a different file for better testing)

ideas?

 

Have you checked if you are web7 user after doing su ?
"whoami" or "id" commands should not say "root" then.
If you are still root after "su" maybe your chroot environment is not working.

 

yes, I'm still root

how to find out why jailkit is not working?

 

Check syslog what happens if you su to web7.

 

nothing gets logged to syslog

 

Sorry i meant /var/log/auth.log

 

interesting,

auth.log says that jk_chrootsh aborted, reason: /var/www/clients/client1/web7 for user web7 (5010) does not contain the jail separator <jail>/./<home>

 

Ok, let's try the following:

usermod -d /var/www/clients/client1/web7/./home/web7 web7

Then try the su web7 and php call things again.
If that works, change back the shell:
usermod -s /bin/false web7

Then check if the cron job works.

 

the reply is
usermod: web7 is currently logged in

su web7

but apparently, that is a lie, because whoami and id still identify me as root

still getting
"could not open input file"
