Setting up a cron job using codeigniter

I have a function that I want to execute via cron. If I just remove the urlwww.example.com/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function

This function works fine, if I set it to cron doesn't work.

I tried to set this like

public_html/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function

and this is through this error message

public_html/TestProjects/codeigniter/controller/function: Not a directory

Can anyone help me set this on cron?

First try running this controller method in CLI mode. In the console, navigate to your project directory and then run your script in CLI mode:

    cd TestProjests/codeigniter
    php index.php controller function

If that works, paste the same line into the crontab, but with an absolute path:



    php /path_to_your_projects/TestProjests/codeigniter/index.php controller function

The path is public_html/TestProject/...

almost certainly a relative path from your user directory. You can use wget

in your cron to push to url:

* * * * * wget http://www.example.com/cronscript > /dev/null

Change the times above to make it work the way you like

Use system path for filename and function name after executing the space, it should look like this:

php /var/www/path/to/controller/classFile functionName
-1
