Your script is almost certainly running and creating your file. It's just not creating it where you expect it to be. You are not using any path in your script, you just use a file name. This means that the file will be created in the directory the script is running in.
That's why, when you move into a specific directory and run the script there, you think it works. Because the file is created in the directory you ran it in and so you can see it. By default, cron runs in the home directory of the user running it. Since this is root's crontab (which, by the way, is a bad idea), the file will be created in /root. So, go check:
sudo ls /root/test.txt
So, next time, give your script a full path instead of just a file name:
Now, the file will be created in /path/to.

I want to run a PHP script from cron. I setup cron with:
And I can see it in
crontab -u root -l, but the job is not executed. It also doesn't work when I run the command directly from the command line like this:I tried many answers related to cron but nothing worked. For example:
The testing php script (
cron_job.php) is:File permissions are all OK and it is working when run in the browser or when opening a terminal in
