Setup the Flarum scheduler using cron

Mirzaagha

clarkwinkelmann l know but not working

ctml

Mirzaagha Is there any updated error after you corrected the cmd?

Mirzaagha

ctml l try all variants in here but not working. Very bad situation

ctml

Mirzaagha so there is no error at all, just not working? How are you determining it is not working? You need to describe the behaviour you are seeing.

Mirzaagha

ctml Hi Sir.
clarkwinkelmann
My command:

Message:

But write admin panel:

Can you help me ?

ctml

Mirzaagha your command is wrong, clark showed you here clarkwinkelmann the command you need to use.

cd /home/codestac/public_html && /usr/local/bin/php flarum schedule:run > /dev/null

The path /home/codestac/public_html assumes your flarum file is located in there. Mine isn't setup quite the same way, so just make sure you are not exposing your config.php or any other sensitive configurations in public_html.

ctml okey, how to find my flarum folder? my vendor? public folders at in the home/codestac/public_html

I am not able to get my scheduler working as per the following screenshot:

My cronjob is configured to the following format:

cd /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY_DOMAIN/public_html/discussions && /usr/bin/php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this as to why scheduler is not working?

whisperwow can you verify that you are targeting the command in the right directory? Did you try running the command manually (not in a cron) to verify it works?

luceos

whisperwow try executing this command without dev null manually and see if you encounter any errors:

cd /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY_DOMAIN/public_html/discussions && /usr/bin/php flarum schedule:run

luceos

whisperwow the question relates to the cronjob you set up

whisperwow My cronjob is configured to the following format:

cd /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY_DOMAIN/public_html/discussions && /usr/bin/php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Where exactly is that set up, did you use crontab on the server? If so, as what user?

whisperwow

luceos I was successfully able to execute the above command (with my username and domain of course) directly from the SSH Command line. However, the cron job still does not work.

luceos

whisperwow as what user are you executing the command? In your panel.

whisperwow

luceos Not sure I understand your question. When I log into the SSH command line through my Terminal program, I login with the SSH password. No user is specified. When I am in my Hostinger Hpanel, I am logged in as an admin setting up the cronjob. I am the only user on the account.

whisperwow

luceos I am using the cronjob feature of my Hostinger hosting account. Following is my cronjob with the username displayed:

cd /home/MY_USERNAME/domains/MY_DOMAIN/public_html/discussions && php flarum schedule:run

Does that help?

luceos

whisperwow i dont see a thing wrong with it. So you might best ask hostinger support about this.

navindra

whisperwow I'm a bit confused, because that is not the syntax for a crontab.

The cron job syntax looks like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Overview

I guess you are using some GUI I'm not familiar with:
https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/1583465-how-to-set-up-a-cron-job-at-hostinger

Could you provide a screenshot, just for the sake of clarity?

Also, don't you have any shell access? If so, can you do "crontab -l" to show your current crontab and "crontab -e" to edit it?

whisperwow

luceos OK thanks for the replies. I'll check again with Hostinger support.

whisperwow

@luceos @navindra I was able to get it to work by working with Hostinger and following the instructions in this article:

https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/5646919-how-to-set-up-a-cron-job-with-special-characters-at-hostinger

Apparently, the Hostinger Hpanel does not like special characters in the command codes.

Thanks again for your replies and input.

luceos

whisperwow having been responsible over an inhouse developed control panel for over 7 years, I can only be astonished about how user unfriendly this is. But glad you figured it out.

Rahyan

whisperwow Sorry to bother you, but could you help me on that ? It doesn't seem to do anything.

Did you write /usr/bin/php in before the flarum schedule ?
I have this as the bash script :
#!/bin/sh cd /home/u123456789/domains/example.com/public_html/forum/ && /usr/bin/php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
It doesn't seem to do anything. I also have that :

It somehow works on my Rapsberry Pi or in any Linux machine. But not on Hostinger. I will presumably self host at some extent.
