Hi i have tried to run the php file in the plesk by using cronjob by the following commands.But everything is showing the errors. Not executing the php script.

i.e.,

php -q /path to the file

shows php command not found.so i have tried to find the path for php by using

which php

it displays the path /usr/bin/php. after that i have tried with 

/usr/bin/php -q /path to the file

it shows /usr/bin/php no such file or directory

The same way i tried for 

/usr/bin/env /usr/bin/php -q /path to the file

/usr/bin/curl /url of the file

/usr/bin/wget /url of the file

every thing is showing the error and not executing the script. what is wrong with this. Can any one suggest me. thanks in advance

I'll tell you what worked for us. First of all, we checked that cURL is installed. It wasn't so we installed it. Then we followed the following steps: 

http://shaun.net/2011/09/solving-plesk-10-3-1-cron-issues/

To fix the problem and restore behaviour to how it worked in previous versions of Plesk, all you need to do is run the following command: /usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -u -crontab-secure-shell "/bin/sh"

But you have to find the correct route of your file "server_pref". Following these steps, we are able to use the cron with curl -q http://youradress.com/cron.php

Hope it helps, best regards
