CodeIgniter CRON job

codeigniter cron

First of all, I'm assuming you are using CI ver 2> (CLI support was not available before).

Secondly, lets say that the page you are trying to fire under cron is http://www.mysite.com/index.php/cronjobs/thejob

The correct command would be:

/usr/bin/php /var/www/rootCIfolder/index.php cronjobs thejob

Replace /usr/bin/php with the location of your php executable and /var/www/rootCIfolder with the location of your CI folder.

You need to have php compiled with command line support. You can verify this by:

# php -vPHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul  3 2012 16:53:21)
