Question

I’m setting up my cron job controller that will only run within the CLI, I’ve not started with anything built, just in the testing phase with CI’s examples. However, when running it I get no output or anything else, just a new line, this is the command I ran:

root@serv$ php /var/www/ci/index.php tools message
root@serv

As you can see in the second line, I get no output, just a new line to run an command but I don’t understand why and I cannot debug it. The code contains this:

<?php
class Tools extends CI_Controller {

    public function message($to = 'World')
    {
        echo "Hello {$to}!".PHP_EOL;
    }
}
?>

In my configuration file, the $config['uri_protocol'] is set to AUTO so this does not seem to be the problem.

How can I debug this? What are the options that I may need to deal with?

I also have display_errors on and error_reporting on to E_ALL.

I found the problem, it was a problem with a redirect('domain.com'); exit; I had on an autoloaded library, because it was matching against the domain in a database, that way CLI doesn’t serve a domain when it detects, hence I included a redirect('domain.com') with an exit which is why I’m not seeing any output.
