Where do you have the cronjob? If it's in /etc/crontab you'll need a column for the user executing the command.

0 1 * * * root /usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php
If not (for example you have added the job with "crontab -e") try to print output to a file and see if it says anything interesting.

0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php &>/var/log/cron-output

Yes, that would be correct. And if you add
&>/var/log/cron-output at the end? You might want to change the path to anything that's writeable by the admin user, like &>/home/admin/cron-output

What do you mean?
Just run the command:


0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php &>/home/admin/cron-output
And check what /home/admin/cron-output contains when the job should have been run.

Hmm, okey, and what happends if you run the command in a terminal?

/usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php &>/home/admin/cron-output

ok, it looks better:


Warning: main(../Connections/autocenter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/admin/domains/linuxserverbug06.net/public_html/inclu$

But all the files are there.

Iīve exactly this command with cpanel and itīs running ok. (in another server of course)

You might want to check /var/log/cron

íīve already checked and for this command íīve:

Nov 13 01:00:01 centos4364m crond[2886]: (admin) CMD (/usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php)


And no error here...

But if i run manually this file it sendīs an email and do other tasks.

Sorry, I'm currently out of ideas.
But -bash: 0: command not found sure looks like you're trying to execute "0". Try run 0 in the terminal and you'll get the same result.

but thatīs why iīve asked you if there anyway to force a cron command do run.

Do you have an include-tag in /home/admin/public_html/includes/autocron.php?

If you use it like this:


(../Connections/autocenter.php)

try using the full path:


(/home/admin/public_html/Connections/autocenter.php)

Otherwise the cronjob don't know where to find autocenter.php.

yes, íīve.

it seemīs a good tip.

iīve tested it and the cron-output file is empty.

Maybe...

Iīll reply after the cronjob runs.

Thank you very much for all the help.
