How to run a php file as a cron job in cPanel in B

Question

I'm trying to run a PHP file that automatically generates a sitemap and pings various search engines via cURL as a cron Job.

By hosting plan is a shared plan provided by Bigrock.in.

The control panel is cPanel Pro 1.0 (RC1)

This is my Current cron command :

php /home/myusername/public_html/sitemap_auto.php

But this does not seem to work at all. So Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks is advance.

Answer 1

The path to the php binary is - /usr/bin/php so the cron command to be set up will be

/usr/bin/php /home/myusername/public_html/sitemap_auto.php

However, it seems more likely that the reason for the cron failing is elsewhere. I'd suggest that you raise a request with our support team and let them know how exactly you are generating the sitemap and which specific commands you are using to ping the search engines.
