Resolved Command for Cron-task below the docroot

[markusoswald]

Hi,

i need to run a cron-task, which is below the docroot. How can i submit a task? The following failed:

##Submit Task##
/usr/bin/php -q /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/crons/cron.php
php -q /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/crons/cron.php

##Submit PHP-Skript##
Path: crons/cron.php Order: -q
Path: crons/cron.php Order: php -q


Thanks a lot for help in advance.

Theoretically should work because you are under the same user. What is the error you get?

Thank´s for your reply,

following the error-message:

HP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined index: default' in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/crons/cron.php:0

for me it seems it is executing the PHP file, the error is in PHP, not with the cron. If you share the PHP file content then I can say more.

It´s encrypted with the IonCubeLoader:

if(!extension_loaded('ionCube Loader')){$__oc=strtolower(substr(php_uname(),0,3));$__ln='ioncube_loader_'.$__oc.'_'.substr(phpversion(),0,3).(($__oc=='win')?'.dll':'.so');if(function_exists('dl')){@dl($__ln);}if(function_exists('_il_exec')){return _il_exec();}$__ln='/ioncube/'.$__ln;$__oid=$__id=realpath(ini_get('extension_dir'));$__here=dirname(__FILE__);if(strlen($__id)>1&&$__id[1]==':'){$__id=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__id,2));$__here=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__here,2));}$__rd=str_repeat('/..',substr_count($__id,'/')).$__here.'/';$__i=strlen($__rd);while($__i--){if($__rd[$__i]=='/'){$__lp=substr($__rd,0,$__i).$__ln;if(file_exists($__oid.$__lp)){$__ln=$__lp;break;}}}if(function_exists('dl')){@dl($__ln);}}else{die('The file '.__FILE__." is corrupted.\n");}if(function_exists('_il_exec')){return _il_exec();}echo("Site error: the ".(php_sapi_name()=='cli'?'ionCube':'<a href="http://www.ioncube.com">ionCube</a>')."

OK, so for me seems that the issue is with Ioncube Loader. You will need to find out how to load Ioncube via command line. See which php.ini will load if you execute PHP and check how can you force to load a php.ini which will load Ioncube Loaders. I know there is a solution, but it is more a play/test game

 

[markusoswald]

Thank´s for your help, didn´t consider this problem.

Thank´s!

If you succeed, please post for the others the final solution.

Hi markusoswald,

please be aware, that PHP 7 for example has no stable ioncube loader at the moment ( only unstable and not properly working "beta" loaders ). If you use a Plesk PHP 7 version on your domain, consider to post the output of:

/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -v​

and you will notice, that there is no ioncube loader installed. WHMCS for example will not work properly, if there is no ioncube loader installed with your used PHP version.


If you use any other other PHP - version, pls. always make sure, that the used PHP version has an ioncube loader installed ( see the above command and post the corresponding out from your used PHP - version - command, if you need help with the investigations!!! ), when you want WHMCS to work properly. Control as well that "/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.de/crons/config.php" has the correct, uncommented path - as for example "$whmcspath = '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.de';" - if this is your docroot for your WHMCS - installation.

Hi,

thank´s for your help.
I know that PHP 7 has no ioncube modul until now, so i used PHP 6 for WHMCS.

I used WHMCS 7 beta, there is a bug in the beta v2 which will be fixed in the next release.

For everyone else, php -q will work on a stable version!
