php cronjobs for clients

[Effektor]

Hey ppl,

I'm not able to solve following problem.

If I add a cronjob as root for example:

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/script.php

anything is ok.

If I add a cronjob as a normal user which was added by using Plesk for example the user of DOMAIN:

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/script.php

I get back an error like:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /home/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/inc/mysql.inc.php on line 22

I already test it directly at the shell anything is ok.
I added #! /usr/bin/php in each script, doesn't solve the problem.
I added -f at the cronjob, doesn't solve the problem.

Anyone can tell me whats wrong?

New Information:


I logged in as root and used

SERVER:/# php4 -i
there are several information for example:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php4/cli/php.ini


Than I logged in as a normal user added by Plesk

SERVER:/# php4 -i
there are several information for example:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php4/cli

mysql.so
gd.so

doesn't seem to be implemented.

if i add the arg --with-config-file-path=/etc/php4/cli/php.ini
the server should use the same config as it does while using the root user.
Instead of doing so he uses the /etc/php4/cli.

If I manualy uncomment the two lines

;extension=mysql.so
;extension=gd.so

I get failures of dublicated names...

So whats wrong?

Any ideas?

I am having the same issue here.

After migrating plesk date from 7 to 8.

PHP files executed as root cron jobs defined in the 'Server > Cron' section of Plesk 8 work fine.

PHP files executed under a clients domain do not work. They seem to run with different php configurations.

I get failure mysql_connect function undefined.

If i run this as root from the command line it works fine:
php /var/www/vhosts/website.com.au/httpdocs/cron/testcron.php

If i run the same script in cron on a client it fails. if i run teh cron under server root it works.

im a rush.. hope that makes sense

anyone have any ideas?

ive tried modifying the cli php.ini file, also tried modifying the mysql.so module paths

Fixed the Prob...

changed the Permission of /etc/php.ini to 644 before nobody else than root had the permission to read out the file...

Now it works...
