Why is crontab giving "No such file or directory" error when the file DOES exist?
- by fettereddingoskidney
I am getting the following three lines in an error message in /var/mail/username after the following job runs in crontab...
15 * * * * /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/iconimageryidx/includes/insertPropertyRESI.php
Errors:
/applications/mamp/htdocs/iconimageryidx/includes/insertpropertyRESI.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/applications/mamp/htdocs/iconimageryidx/includes/insertpropertyRESI.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `'initialize.php''
/applications/mamp/htdocs/iconimageryidx/includes/insertpropertyRESI.php: line 3: `require_once('initialize.php');
The PHP script I am trying to execute DOES in fact exist, and I have made absolutely sure the spelling is correct several times. I ran a crontab on another script before and it worked just fine...any ideas??
The 2nd & 3rd Errors are from line 3 in the following script (the one I am trying to run with the crontab):
<?php
require_once('initialize.php');
require_once('insertPropertyTypes.php');
$sDate;
if(isset($_GET['startDate'])) {
$sDate = $_GET['startDate'];
} else {
$sDate = '';
}
$insertResi = new InsertPropertyTypes('Listing', $sDate, 'RESI');
?>
When I run my script insertPropertyRESI.php in the browser, it runs just fine???? Also, initialize.php and insertPropertyTypes.php are in the same directory as insertPropertyRESI.php
I am using MAMP with PHP 5.3.5
thakns for the help :?
