Question

server is a DV4 from mediatemple running centos. $DOC_ROOT/index.php - 777 has perms.

path to PHP: /usr/bin/php

path to index.php: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/client/fhaz/index.php

path to cron.php: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/client/fhaz/application/controllers/cron.php

When i run the following command:
/usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/example.com/client/fhaz/index.php cron processCategoryCount

Its running the index controller printing out the compiled view in index(homepage) and not the cron controller/method related to the cron processCategoryCount

Ive also tried: index.php/cron/processCategoryCount, index.php "cron/ProcessCategoryCount

accessing index.php/cron/processCategoryCount in browser properly returns NOT CLI which is executed by a construct in the cron controller to die("NOT CLI"); So i know its accessible..

I ran into this issue before a few months ago, but forgot the fix.

Answer 1

the problem was $config['uri_protocol'] was set to QUERY_STRING and not AUTO
