Using SugarCRM Crontab with Plesk CP

[theblackbubble]

Hi!

We are running SugarCRM Community Edition on a Ubuntu VPS from Webfusion. Our problem is how we set-up the Crontab functions through the Plesk CP?

The SugarCRM crontab command is...

* * * * * cd /var/www/vhosts/theforrestercorporation.com/subdomains/crm/httpdocs; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

It seems the crontab function, set-up through domains crontab button, gets to the directory, but fails to action the command.

Any help would be appreciated.

Our system details...
SugarCRM CE 5.0.0.0b
PHP 4.4.2.
MySQL 5.0.22
Plesk 8.3.0
Linux Ubantu

Cheers
Stuart

Put it in the admin cron (root or ideally apache) rather than the domain's cron.

Other things to try: Instead of cd /var/www/vhosts/theforrestercorporation.com/subdomains/crm/httpdocs; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1 why not try

wget http://crm.theforrestercorporation.com/cron.php (or however you would get to that file from the net anyway)

or

php -f /var/www/vhosts/theforrestercorporation.com/subdomains/crm/httpdocs/cron.php

Do it yourself from the command line - see what happens. Any errors?

Thank You!

Hi Faris,

I put the wget command at the root level and it seems to be running!

Many thanks for your help
