I have searched hell and high water for a solution to a problem I'm having in CentOS. I'm trying to set up a cron job that executes a PHP script. I was able to get this working using wget
, but now that we are going into production, I need to find a way to do this whilst being more secure, as the cron job itself works with sensitive data.
The error that I'm getting is: -bash: php: command not found
.
Now I've looked around and I've seen people having the same problem, but nothing has been able to help me get this working.
For reference, here is what the working crontab looked like using the wget
command.
* * * * * wget http://www.domain.com/cron_script.php
This is working fine, but I need to translate this into executing via PHP, rather than making an HTTP request to get the job done.
Let me know if I left anything out.
