Problem running PHP-Script

[deee]

Hi folks

This is about nnCron LITE

I've been trying to "cron" a PHP-Script for hours now. I read all other topics about this subject, but nothing worked.

I've got the following cronjob:

Code: Select all

* * * * * "C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php-cgi.exe" "C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\test.php"

It doesn't matter if I remove the quotes, I always get the following result in the logfile:

Code: Select all

14:26:00 2952 Start: "C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php-cgi.exe" "C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\test.php"

14:26:00 2952 Start result: 0

If I enter exactly the same command in windows command shell, it works!

Does somebody know an appropriate solution?

Many thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can run this job like this:

Code: Select all

* * * * * C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php-cgi.exe C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\test.php

Just check: if there are some _relative_ paths in test.php!

[deee]

Unfortunately it does not work

The PHP-Script has no relatives paths

Code: Select all

<?php

file_put_contents('C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\text.log', "test\n", FILE_APPEND);

?>

what is in c:\error.txt if you run

Code: Select all

* * * * * cmd /c "C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php-cgi.exe C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\test.php" > c:\error.txt 2>&1

[deee]

Code: Select all

C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

There is obviously a problem with the space in "Program Files"

somethig wrong here. i'm pretty sure the following example will load your file in notepad regardless of blank spaces:

Code: Select all

notepad.exe C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\mods\System\cronjobs\test.php

Does it works?

[deee]

Yes, that works...but still the problem with the PHP-Script

[Valery_Kondakoff]

Look at this. The first example does not work:

Code: Select all

* * * * * "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WDREAD9.TXT"

The second works correctly:

Code: Select all

* * * * * "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WDREAD9.TXT"

Can you test this?

[deee]

I can't see any differences between these two examples

[Valery_Kondakoff]

Oops! Sorry, I was in a hurry and made a typo. I have edited the previous post.

BTW, the following example works correctly as well:

Code: Select all

* * * * * c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WDREAD9.TXT"

Does this trick works with your script?

[deee]

Yes, it did...strange thing, but never mind

Thanks a lot! =)

So, the idea is to leave the path to the program without quotes and to enclose the program arguments in quotes...

Like this:

Code: Select all

* * * * * path to the program "path to the file"

On my machine the following example works as well:

Code: Select all

* * * * * "path to the program" "path to the file"

The last two examples are opening program, but can not find the argument file:

Code: Select all

* * * * * path to the program path to the file
* * * * * "path to the program path to the file"
