I’m running ubuntu 10.04 and have installed php5 via the following:
sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-imagick php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl
In my research, the following is an example of how to run cron as PHP:
00 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/john/myscript.php
the problem is… i’m looking in my /usr/bin/ folder… and I do NOT see any PHP folder or symlink… basically /usr/bin/php is non-existant and I need this to run my PHP scripts as cron jobs.
can someone tell me why (after a successful php installation) “/usr/local/bin/php” does not exist? I have check multiple online sources and “/usr/bin/php” should exist by default.
Please help!
The cron syntax is basically ok.
Try a…
…or…
…to find where your php bin folder is located.
