Issue how do i rund wget cron?

[Palle]

Hello,
i need to run the following cron

* * * * * wget --spider -O - https://domain.com/instagram/post/cron >/dev/null 2>&1

it shouts out an error. i tried to add complete path to wget by adding /usr/bin/wget
but no improvement.

You can get right path with "whereis wget" command.
Check if you have it in your system (you can install it in redhat system with "yum install wget" or "apt-get install wget" on debian system)
If you give more detail about your exact error, we could help us in anycase

if i run it at command line it works fine. i checked wget is installed and patch is correct as well. i found out when i use http instead of https it works. which is strange because i force https request by host setting. is that normal?

Remove the "2>&1" part from the cronjob and enable mail notifications for the job. Then you will get the full error message, which may help to debug your problem. You can post it here for assistance.
