I have added the following to my root crontab (obviously replacing SYSTEM_ROOT with our actual system root):
*/15 * * * * php [SYSTEM_ROOT]/core/cron/run.php
However, I am getting the following error message:
MySource Error

The relevant section of code seems to be:
if (SQ_PHP_CLI) {
// being called from eg. a squiz server HIPO
$url = ‘’;
} else {
$host = array_get_index($_SERVER, ‘HTTP_HOST’, FALSE);
if (!$host) {
// try to get the host name from the HTTP_HOST server variable just in case
// if previous test failed, this one will probably not help, but before dying we try anyway
$host = array_get_index($_SERVER, ‘SERVER_NAME’, FALSE);
if (!$host) {
LINE 557 ===> trigger_localised_error(‘SYS0107’, E_USER_ERROR);
}
}
Why does this think it’s not being run from the command line, when I’m running it from cron?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
Are you sure the PHP binary you're using is the CLI binary? What do you get if you just run:
# php -v
Bear in mind also if you are running the crontab as root, any files created at the time the crontab runs may gain root permissions and won't be available to your apache user.
What’s the output of
#>php -r ‘print_r(php_sapi_name()); echo “\n”;’

php -r ‘print_r(php_sapi_name()); echo “\n”;’
Error in argument 1, char 2: option not found r

Also, I tried php -v and got:

I think this means I don’t have the php-cli installed? I’m running FC3 and have the following packages installed:
rpm -qa | grep php
php-pgsql-4.3.11-2.8
php-gd-4.3.11-2.8
php-4.3.11-2.8
php-pear-4.3.11-2.8
I tried yum search php and didn’t see any package that indicates a cli version. Any ideas?
Thanks, Tom

There is a PHP.spec file in the Installation forum that will build a php-cli RPM for you, however if you’re not familiar with building RPMs this could be tricky. Alternatively, you may need to recompile PHP from source. The MySource Matrix command line scripts (like Cron Manager) require a CLI binary.
