cron does not run the php script

Howdy,

Glad to hear that worked!

If you run into that in the future, you may also want to check the system logs to see if the process is running at the scheduled time, and erroring out, or whether it's not running at all.

Hope I'm not breaking rules here by hijacking the thread but I seem to have a similar issue. The difference is that my cron won't even run if I "Run Now"

When I run the file directly from a web browser (https://[domain]/crm/vtigercron.php) I have joy but this is what I'm experiencing when trying to run it as a cron:

1. I'm using using the following command: php -f /home/[server name]/public_html/crm/vtigercron.php (I left ">/dev/null 2>&1" off so I can see the result)

2. I will set the schedule up once this is working but for now I keep getting the following result after a "Run Now" or "Save and Run Now":

Execute Cron Job

Output from command php -f /home/[server name]/public_html/crm/vtigercron.php ..

Return to cron job

The cron has been set to run as root and is active.

Very confused after scouring through the forums and can't seem to find what I'm missing here. Can anyone help? :-)

Looks like your vtiger installation is incomplete. It is missing several files, which it needs to get everything working like PearDatabase.php, Utils.php etc.

So reinstall or add those files to the according folders in your system.

Hi just_me,

Thank you so much for your reply. The files are definitely there and working because when running the php script from a web browser it works. I've done quite a bit of research on this and what I have determined is that there seems to be an issue with php recognizing the real path/directory name of the files within the vtiger script.

I'm now trying to see if there is a way to fix this instead of rewriting each of the vtiger scripts to include the real file path for the relevant files they refer to.

I'm new to all of this so on a major learning curve right now.
