ISPConfig and the CRON feature - Running a php file every day

[vaio1]

Hi guys,

inside the "Command" field what have I write?

If I write /var/www/web1/web/schedule.php is it correct?

thanks

To run php files, you have to use:

/usr/bin/php /var/www/web1/web/schedule.php

[vaio1]

can I use only the prefix: "php".

For example: php /var/www/web1/web/schedule.php

thanks

No, you cant as cron does not know where to find the php binary then.

I get this error executing the script in my way:


PHP Warning: PHP Startup: imagick: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0

Which distribution do you use? Is the php-imagick module installed?

[vaio1]

how can I check if the php-imagick is installed?

[falko]

Which distribution do you use?

CentOs 5.2

What's the output of yum search imagick?

[vaio1]

Hi Falko,

thanks for your reply. I have already installed it:

Package php-pecl-imagick-2.2.1-3.el5.i386 already installed and latest version

thanks

[vaio1]

What's the output of yum search imagick?
I have already reply it.

how can I hide the response of the execution of the php file?

Is this correct?
/usr/bin/php /var/www/web1/web/schedule.php >/dev/null

Thanks

[till]

Yes, thats correct. It redirects the std out to /dev/null

[vaio1]

Nothing to do!
Every time that the cron starts I get an email with the following strings:


PHP Warning: PHP Startup: imagick: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0


any idea?

The imagick module that you have installed now is not the correct one for the php version that you use. This is a general installation problem and not related to ispconfig or the cron feature.

You should try to remove the imagick module and then install it again.

[vaio1]

So, if the imagick problem will be solved the email message is not sent anymore?

[till]

Your linux distribution (and not ispconfig) is sending you this message as the cronjob could not be executed caused by the imagick problem. So if you solve the problem, there is no error and then there is no reason for your system to send you a email.

Solved reinstalling the imagick packets by hand!
Thanks
