• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Basic Cron Help

Hi all newbie here.

I am trying to set up a cron job on a domain hosted on my Plesk 8.0 Virtual Server.

It is a php script.

I am pretty sure I am having a problem with what paths to use.

to run the script would I use...
/usr/bin/php ?
php ?

Then for the file itself what path should I use?
I believe the whole path is...
var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/phpfiletorun.php

But is this too much for a cron job for a hosted domain?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS I also tried wget, usr/bin/wget, etc. and can't get it to do anything.

Stll trying

Nevermind...

Turns out crond isn't started when the server is rebooted.

Thus it wasn't running and wouldn't work...

OOPs!
