php script not executed by crontab

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I have setup a cron to execute one of my php scripts. But the problem is the php script is not being executed at all not even partially.

Here is the cron I have set up

45 23 * * * /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/myscript.php

I have tried the following

1. I removed the cron from normal user to root user still no results.
2. I changed the permissions on the script using chmod +x /var/www/myscript.php

3. I have used the command whereis php it gives the following

   php: /usr/bin/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

Now, I don't know what else I can do. Please Help.

P.S. I can execute the script manully and it runs perfectly.
