Executing CodeIgniter Cron Job Returns Default Controller/View

[eluser]IanMcQ[/eluser]
Hi there,

I am moving from an Interworx control panel server to a cPanel server. As I have read, some things are different about PHP CLI with cPanel and that the default "php" command cannot be used to execute cron jobs in a controller in CI.

I have tried variations of:

Code:

php /home/myuser/public_html/a/index.php cron process_mass_email_queue

/usr/bin/php-cli /home/myuser/public_html/a/index.php cron process_mass_email_queue

/usr/local/bin/php /home/myuser/public_html/a/index.php cron process_mass_email_queue

and, oddly, they seem to be returning the default view and controller (HTML output) for this app, as if the command line weren't reading the "cron" and "process_mass_email_queue" arguments. Instead, it's just resorting to the default controller/view.

I'm unsure of what might be causing this and want to proceed with setting up my new cron jobs on my cPanel server. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks much.

Hi,

Remember that index.php recieve params with argc argv, instead of URL segments, GET or POST.

I allways use a script to emulate http call, then the output it's ever the same as expected in a browser.
