Problem running cron job

jerrywin5 · 04-06-2004, 09:21 PM

I am able to run the spider from the shell and index URLs in a file using

Code:

php -f spider.php newurls.txt >> spider.log

However, when I setup a cron job using

Code:

0 1 * * * php -f spider.php newurls.txt >> spider.log

it does not work. I get the following error:

Code:

/bin/sh: php: command not found

and do not know why. Which command is the error referring to? What do I need to change?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Looks like it refers to PHP as not found. Perhaps try the following instead:

Code:

0 1 * * * /full/path/to/php -f /full/path/to/spider.php /full/path/to/newurls.txt >> /full/path/to/spider.log
