I have a tested set of crons that run jobs/queues in my local environment. When I attempted to upload them to the cpanel server the crons seemed to not be working. I emailed the output to myself to debug it.
When I run a cron on my cpanel hosting, the command seems to lose options.
I am using the cpanel cron editor (I only have basic command line access, and no crontab).
If I run:
php /home/accountname/www/artisan schedule:run
I get the an email that contains the artisan "with no options" help content... ie:
Usage: command [options] [arguments]
Options: -h, --help Display help for the given command. When no command is given display help for the list command -q, --quiet Do not output any message -V, --version Display this application version --ansi|--no-ansi Force (or disable --no-ansi) ANSI output ...
The commands work exactly as expected when run directly from command line.
[Edit]
I have been able to check crontab -l and the crons are normally added.
MAILTO="[my email]"
SHELL="/bin/bash"
* * * * * php /home/accountname/www/artisan schedule:run
* * * * * php /home/accountname/www/artisan queue:work --stop-when-empty
^ they seem to be correctly added.
How do i get the cron editor to read the options from this command?
For some reason, this seems to come from not using the correct php version.
It was fixed by changing to the local version of php:
/usr/local/bin/php
