Cron Run Php Scripts


I have my own server. I create php file for adding cronjobs. I checked /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow. both of them is empty so no problem. I execute the php script but nothing : I check with crontab -u user l and it told me no cronjobs for that user. When I access as root from ssh and try teh same command, it works fine. I don't understand how to fix that.

Cron Job :: Run Script Every Second, Of Every Minute, Of Every Day
Say I have a script... /home/user/public_html/script.php

I want to run this script every second, of every minute, of every day.

How would I do this? I want to set up a cron and run it, I have written a cron and I am running it in shell as I type, but if I close shell the cron exits, can anybody assist me with making a cron run this script every second permanently.

Creating/Managing Cron Tasks With PHP
I want to create a simple PHP script to manage cron jobs. Say I want to create a front end like a control panel.

I know, many of the WHT members are using custom coded control panels, and surely they have implemented this already.

What is the right approach to do it ?

- Using exec() function and execute commands

- Write directly to /var/spool/cron/<username>

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account).

In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this:

/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php

But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email:

/home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory

So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

How To Run PHP 4 And 5 In Ubuntu Without CGI
When we chose Symfony to implement [url], PHP 5 was needed but we only had PHP 4 installed in our Ubuntu hosting servers. We couldn¡¯t just migrate everyone to PHP 5 since some of client¡¯s applications were incompatible with PHP 5. Some tutorials were found online explaining how to run PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously such as [url] and [url]but they all used CGI. As you probably know, CGI is not scalable and we needed to scale in PHP4 and PHP5 since we needed to server millions of hits in both configurations. The following are additional the requirements we had:

1. Run Apache

2. Use mod_php for both PHP versions.

3. Run eAccelerator with both PHP versions.

4. Use as many Ubuntu packages as possible to ease maintenance issues and easily deploy on multiple servers.

5. Use Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS

The solution we came up with was to run Apache 2 with PHP 5 and run Apache 1 with PHP 4 on separate IPs. Ubuntu comes already with these packages. The only package we had to compile was eAccelerator. The following lists the steps taken to get this setup:

Apache 2 with PHP 5

* apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd php5-mysql php5-dev make php5-mcrypt php5-imap

Can't Run PHP Stable With Versions Above 5.0.3
Windows 2003
IIS6
PHP 5.0.3 and PHP 5.2.1 running with the ISAPI dll
MySQL 5.1.11

I kind of have 2 problems, the first being the one in the thread title and the second is while running any version of php my main site experiences slowdowns and hangs.

For some reason whenever I try to install a new version of PHP I have major problems. I have tried several times when new versions come out. I just recently tried the newest, 5.2.1, which I want to try and use, I think there are performance improvements for IIS and windows platform in the new 5.x versions?

Anyway I can install 5.2.1 and get it running, and my sites load, but soon after my main site starts to hang, stops loading or loads extremely slow. I can't figure it out. I even tried using the exact same PHP.ini settings from my old working php install.

So everytime I am forced to go back to the latest version that I know works with my server/sites, 5.0.3 [url]

If I restart IIS the pages start loading fast again right after, even recycling the worker process that the site uses usualy makes the pages load normal again.

I tried setting the worker process to recycle every 60min and to use 2 web gardens. These changes havn't really had any affect for better or worse.

Downgrading back to PHP 5.0.3 seems to run a bit more stable, but even with this version I get these slowdowns now. I have been running my site(s) on this server for 3 years now and most of the time they have ran stable.

--------------------------------------------------------

I was sleeping this morning and recieved a text-message saying the site wasn't loading. So I wake up and the site indeed was pretty much not loading at all. I look at permon that I left running to see this: [url]

I give IIS a restart, which you can see above, then the levels go back to normal, here is a screen shot a couple minites later to what the "Current Connections" graph usualy looks like when the site loads fine. [url]

During this slowdown the CPU usage was not maxing out, was maybe averaging 60% and ram was 50%. I am getting a 2nd server soon to off-load the MySQL to it and have it dedicated for that. But i don't think that will help this current issue. Here is the system resources when the site is loading fine: [url]

I have around 40 or so other sites hosted on IIS and my main site "canadaka.net" which is purple on the top graph, is the only one that hangs or slowsdown. When this slowdown happens to this site, all the other sites on IIS, which are on a seperate worker process, continue to load fine.

I can't figure out why these slowdowns are happening.

IIS - Make PHP Run With .html Extension
I know nothing about IIS as I ormally use Linux / Apache so I'm not sure this is possible.

I have built a site in PHP that the client now wants to move over to a IIS-hosted server. Although it's all in PHP because it was a re-build of an old static site I used ModRewrite to make all the page .html.

I know IIS doesn't have a URL rewrite feature as such. What I was wondering is, is it possible to configure IIS so that a PHP page can have a .html extension?

Cheap Reliable Server That Can Run PHP/MySQL With Plesk
I currently have a decent server that runs around 10 websites, but 1 of those sites contributes around 99% of the total traffic. This large site is being moved onto a new server, leaving the remaining 9 sites rattling around on this big (and expensive!) server.

So, I am now looking for a smaller server to handle the other smaller sites. They get minimal traffic - around 5k uniques a day.

Today I have a customer want to swich the register_globals on on his account ,,, i'm running PHPSuExec and running php as cgi not as Apache module , and as you know using php as cgi will cause internal error 500 if some one add php_flag register_globals on

Run Php4 For .php4 Files And Php5 For .php [httpd.conf]
First off my error: apache force downloads .php4 files

Background:
Im attempting to run php4 and php5 at the same time. I had php 5 installed with the server when I got it.

I have installed php 4 from the source like this:

Code:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/PHP4 --without-mysql
I then copied the php.ini file to /PHP4/php.ini

In my httpd.conf Im loading and adding both php 4/5 modules like so:

Code:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so

AddModule mod_php4.c
AddModule mod_php5.c
Then later in the httpd.conf Im trying to tell apache to handle .php4 files with PHP 4 and .php with PHP5

Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
I restarted apache to load the new conf. .php files still use PHP5, but for some reason .php4 files are being downloaded, not running with PHP 4.

If I use htaccess to application/x-httpd-php4 php, .php files also force download. What am I missing?

Does Cron Timeout?
Simply wondering, does cron timeout?

I have heard mixed reports and can't find any good info. Personally i've run a cronjob for up to 6 minutes, but as my best method was sending myself emails through php, its not exactly a highly accurate testing method.

On the same note, what would happen if one cronjob is running a php script for over 10 minutes, then another cron job starts on the same script, before the first one has finished?

Remote Cron
I've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it.

If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?

Cron / WGet
My crontab uses Wget to access a PHP file. It works just fine; however, the only problem is that each time the crontab is run it creates a file in the root of my site called filename.php.10XX

filename is the name of the file that Wget runs and 10xx is just the number of times the tab has been run.

How can I prevent these files from being created?

Cron Quit Working...
I have a dedicated CentOS 4.5 Server. However, as you can probably guess I am new to linux and managing a server...

Anyway, beginning of this month my crons quit working, I still receive emails as if they are ran but I can't get the scripts to actually execute.

I have not touched the crontabs or anything prior to them not working, they simply quit working... I did not notice immediatly they did not work, I am guessing that it was around the time of which I rebuilt apache to a new version of PHP. Today I tried changing them to "php path/to/script.php" and I also tried "path/to/php /path/to/script.php", neither worked.

Any ideas or suggestions as to how I can fix this?

Can Cron (back Ups)
I want to set up a cron job to make daily back-ups of my database, but by turning my site off first.

This is how I envisage it to work:
1: rename '.htacess' (in public_html folder for the site) to .htaccess-open
2: rename '.htaccess-closed' to .htaccess
// this closes the site down so no-one can write/access the db (they are basically shown a 'site down for maintenance' page - I already have the code for this)

3: mysqldump --opt (DB_NAME) -u (DB_USERNAME) -p(DB_PASSWORD) > /path/to/dbbackup-$(date +%m%d%Y).sql
// this backs up the database

4: wait for 3 to finish
5: rename '.htaccess' to .htaccess-closed
6: rename '.htacess-open' to .htaccess
// this opens the site back upIs this easy enough to do? Anyone got any tips/pointers?

How Do I Change The Cron Schedule
We have a Cron executed program which runs at certain times of the day.
I need to changes these times.

How do I do this?

To be exact the program that is executed is called daily_charges.jsp

And I have looked under
etc/cron.daily
and I see no call to this program

FYI looking under etc/crontab I see this:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

which obviously is the default Linux included Crontab file so this file cannot be the one that runs the daily crons.

how can I find where is the Cron code that daily runs the program:
daily_charges.jsp

I've checked my logs, and I can find no errors anywhere. When I run the commands manually via SSH, they work perfectly, they simply are not being run automatically the way they are supposed to be.

I have checked, and the crond service is running. I have tried restarting it, but it seams to have no affect. I really have no idea what the issue is. The only thing I seam to have found at one point, was the possibility that the files within the /etc/cron.d directory might be CHMOD'ed wrong, but I haven't found anything to confirm this either way.

How Can I Backup CPanel With Cron
I just went through a week of nightmares, because my host lost hard drives and stuff.. lost my data, etc.. what ever..

I want to work out how I can cron cPanel backups. I did a search online for a cPanel backup manager, but I didn't have much luck.

Or, maybe there's some other way to get regular backups?

I don't really need to backup my whole sites. I keep my files locally, but of course I don't have the databases locally -- or the email records.

All I "really" need is the database SQL files, so that I can rebuild my forums if need be, and also the email setup files -- because I have over 50 domains and I have emails set up on all of them.

I want to have them emailed to myself.

There's an option in cPanel too, which allows me to "generate/download a full backup".. well, how do I "restore" the backup? ie: I know how to backup and restore the home directory, databases and email stuff (there's 3 options in cPanel), but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to restore the full backup.

Anyway, can anyone give me advice on how to keep backups of my cPanel accounts? I don't trust hosts anymore. They say they back stuff up, but they never to.

MySQLDUMP Cron Job
setting up a new cron job.

I would like to have MySQLDUMP dump my specified database(s) into a specified folder using date and time stamps in the filename.

I've done some searching on this but haven't really came up with a way to do all of this at once, or if I may need to setup a cron job to rename the file after the dump has completed. I may be going about this all wrong to begin with, I'm just looking for a very simple and reliable way to backup my databases.

I'm testing this on a Shared Web Host account at this time which does have SSH shell access, but I wasn't sure if this makes a difference.

Alternative To CRON As A Script
My webshosts don't offer CRONJOB's as standard. If I want to add it my hosting goes from £19.99 per annum to £89.99 would you believe!

Is there another way I can run scheduled jobs? Is there a PHP-script someone knows about?

Increasing my costs by 75% a year isn't feasable...

Cron- After SL Power Restored
One of our cronjob has to be executed at 23AM of each day. And it was programmed to be created file/folder name based on date value. I lost the 23AM of that day and no way to solve this problem.
