• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Scheduled Task Errors

Saffii

New Pleskian
Hi,

After 2 days of hair-pulling and scouring the web for answers, I am wondering if anyone could shed light on scheduled tasks created via plesk panel. I am a running a VPS with the following;

OS: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Panel version: 11.0.9
php version: 5.3.2

After contacting the hosting company, I was told the command needs to point to the file inside root directory rather than the server itself. So using phpinfo(); I found the correct path, however, I am still none the wiser to getting the tasks to run without errors.

For example, when I use the command: /usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/cronjobs/crondaily.php‏

I get the following error;

PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/imap.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0

Have tried numerous other commands including: /usr/bin/wget http://mydomain.com/cronjobs/crondaily.php

and for this I get the following error;

Cannot write to `crondaily.php' (Permission denied).

My user the tasks run under is set up as admin and has the Create and manage scheduled tasks enabled. I read somewhere there is a bug and I would have to edit imap.ini. Is this correct? If so, where and how do I edit this? Or can anyone see where I am going wrong and give me a gentle push in the right direction.....before I lose all my hair!

Many thanks in advance.
