CRON not working!

xomatech

New Pleskian
Hello!

I have a simple PHP script that I can easily run from any browser....however, whenever I try to run it from the crontab, it does not run (and I don't know where to find out why).

The script is a PHP file called getData.php. I can run it from the shell by using the command...

/usr/bin/lynx http://www.domain.com/getData.php

and it works perfectly.

But when I enter that exact same command into the crontab, assign it an hour and minute (and * everywhere else) nothing happens. Where can I find a log of the error??

I'm trying to run it from the crontab of root.
 
Can you post your exact cronjob line.

what are you entering.

try something like

*/1 * * * * ls > file.txt

just to confirm cronjobs are actually running okay.
