    Ciao to all friends here.

    I already post a question some months ago and I had your supporto to resolve.
    Today same question after all check. I cant find solution.

    I have 2 server same kind, same debian, same ispconfig.
    The first one has cron job ok (see my post here http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63829) -
    I reply all check in ispconfig, but no way to receive the mail every hour.

    I dont knwo what to do or check.
    here the not working cron job log:

    Code:
     tail /var/log/syslog
    Aug  8 21:16:29 rora postfix/smtpd[9145]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
    Aug  8 21:16:29 rora postfix/smtpd[9145]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]

    Code:

    Cronjobs must use the full path for all commands, so instead of:

    php -q /var/www/clients/client1/web13/web/mail.php

    use:

    /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/clients/client1/web13/web/mail.php

    But normally you should better use a URL cronjob if the file that has to be executed is a php script in the web flder. If your website is e.g. domain.tld, then enter just the URL to the script in the command field:

    http://domain.tld/mail.php
