Laravel工匠cron任务不在ubuntu上工作

Question

I have been pulling my hair out for the past 5 hours over what I thought would be a simple task, enabling the cron feature for Laravel. I am running Laravel 5.1 on an Amazon EC2 Ubuntu LAPP stack server.

I have added the cron task to the cron jobs list using the command

sudo crontab -e

Then I have added the command listed in the laravel documentation

* * * * * php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

I have made sure that cron is running and I can see that the task is running if I run

sudo grep -i cron /var/log/syslog|tail -3

Which returns

Mar  4 15:36:01 ip-172-31-7-174 CRON[15120]: (root) CMD (php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)

Mar  4 15:37:01 ip-172-31-7-174 CRON[15123]: (root) CMD (php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)

Mar  4 15:38:01 ip-172-31-7-174 CRON[15125]: (root) CMD (php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1)

I have tested that the path has not got any typos in it by running the command from the command line and it works properly

php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run

Also I have added this cron task just to confirm that cron is actualy running

* * * * * echo "Cron" > /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan/file.txt

I have also made sure the file is executable by doing the following but this has not fixed the issue either

chmod 755 artisan
chmod 777 artisan (I am aware this is dangerous)
chmod +x artisan (Suggested on fourms)

Does anyone have any suggestions where I'm going wrong here.

I've experienced this and found a solution. It's because of unknown reason in bitnami, so that php command not recognized by cron. I used this command to make it working :

* * * * * /path/to/php/bin/php /home/bitnami/htdocs/project/app/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
