Running php script via Jenkins Execute shell

Question

I am trying to run php script via execute shell in Jenkins but it seems i am missing something.

here is my command in execute shell of Jenkins

#!/usr/bin/php

php /home/admin/reports/test.php"

I am not getting any error in console output.

and when i try these commands:

#!/bin/bash    
php /home/admin/reports/test.php"

then I get error which says failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/admin/reports/test.php" .

no error. but when i run the same commands in CLI linux then this script is executed and i get results that i need. but with Jenkins nothing. — Developer, Apr 30 '14 at 12:07

Jenkins, with default installation, will be run under jenkins user. That user has no access to your /home/admin home directory. The Permission denied is pretty self-explanatory.

Either give jenkins user read access to /home/admin (not recommended)
Or place the file into /home/jenkins directory (not best solution either)
Or better yet, have the file available in shared location accessible by both, preferably the job's workspace that is populated through the SCM (recommended).

thanks for windows users these minor things are sometimes a really headache — Developer, Apr 30 '14 at 13:55
