Resolved trouble setting up scheduled task: /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php: No such file or directory

[jmano]

Hello,

trying to set up a cron job for magento in one of my plesk user subscriptions.

Here is my setup:



when i try to run this job i get this error:

Task "/var/www/vhosts/mymagentodir/bin/magento" completed with error in 0 seconds, output:

-: /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php: No such file or directory

the directory certainly exists so what am i missing here ? (i have to admit that i am not super skilled in setting up cron jobs )

Have you tried to run this script in CLI?

 

[jmano]

not yet, i'm reading up on cron jobs now since for the moment i don't know how to do it via command line, in my old server/shop with magento 1.9 on plesk 11 i managed to set it up via plesk like that

Just login as root via ssh on your Plesk server and run command

# /var/www/vhosts/mymagentodir/bin/magento

Check output. Also if talk about Plesk 11 version, there is no multiple PHP feature (it was released in Plesk 12.x versions). Therefore, most probably you really have no /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php file there.

when i run

/var/www/vhosts/mymagentodir/bin/magento cron:run

as root from the shell i get a permission denied error

btw, i am on Plesk 12.5.3 on this new server, Plesk 11 was on the old server

ok, i found a solution here: https://kb.plesk.com/en/115889

after running

/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref --update -crontab-secure-shell ""

the task executes without erros when running it from plesk

as far as i understand a Plesk user is not allowed to access directories above it's vhost directory and the above command disables this limitation for cron.

Yes, you are correct.

 

[jmano]

cool, thanks for you r prompt help Igor !

This solution works for me as well.
Correct me if I am wrong please but it seems to me to open a world of possibilities for getting control of the server from a hacked user level!
