为什么codeigniter cron不工作

Question

I am trying to set up cronjob in codeIgniter on my localhost so that when I run the same path from terminal it works

This is the Path I have run from the cli(terminal):

/usr/bin/php /home/user_name/path_to_index.php users foo

this works

but when I set this in the crontab file as :

 3 * * * *  /usr/bin/php /home/user_name/path_to_index.php users foo

this is not working.

any idea what is wrong here?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try this

/usr/bin/curl http://examblewebsite/index.php/front/cronjob

front - Controller name

cronjob - function name

in your localhost

0 13 * * * php [application_path]/index.php cli/reminders
