[Resolved] v4 cron issues.

[Drifter]

I have had this working in the past. Cannot seem to get it working now so looking for ideas.

Currently, I have the following;

/usr/local/bin/php80 /home/************/public_html/app/bin/legacy -C cron

I have tried several options to no avail. Hoping someone has an idea and / or working version.

Thanks in advance.

How do you know that the php binary is at /usr/local/bin/php80?

To be honest I'm not sure. I've used the recommended line from within cpanel but the only difference is I added the "80" after php in that line and that was only after doing a search here for ideas.

You can find where the php command is on your server by using the "whereis" command.

Open SSH on your server or command prompt and type:

whereis php

You will get the location.

[15:23] [server1 /] # whereis php
php: /usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/lib/php.ini
[15:23] [server1 /]

which is the command to find shell executables, whereis is more general use case as it search for executables, sources and manual pages.

This has been resolved. The cron was running which I was eventually able to determine. Due to the "shared" environment, the cron frequency is the issue. Of the shared hosting I have tested, the lowest frequency is every 5 minutes. Longest was 15 on average. Ill move from shared at some point but for now, information for some beginners attempting to use shared hosting.
