Resolved Problem with command in Scheduled Tasks

[Mathias]

Hello,

I was just trying to set up the cron job for my phpfox software, which has to be entered as a command using curl:

curl -s https://www.domain.com/cron.php?token=123456

When I try to run this cron task, I have to wait 60 seconds and get an Apache error in the log files, because of a message saying the time exceeded. Then I looked in the php settings, if curl is disabled, but it wasn't.

What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Mathias

Make sure that domain.com ports 80 and 443 are not firewalled from your Plesk server. Try to check it with something like:

# plesk sbin fetch_url "https://example.com"

Thank you very much, Igor! That solved the problem. I had to create a new custom firewall rule allowing forwarding of port 80 and 443.

Wrong information. This did not solve the problem. I am still getting Apache errors after 60 seconds showing a 503 server error.

For anyone who has the same problem, here is the solution, found in the phpFox forum:
