Answer 1

You should first inspect the cron log file /var/log/cron and look for any errors. This will probably give you the answer. Also make sure you can run the command successfully on the command line (/usr/bin/php /var/www/html/tt-rss/update.php --feeds --quiet).

Answer 2

Simply do : * * * * * wget -o - -q -t 1 "your url with cron file"

Answer 3

This sounds like crond is not running. In which case:

service crond start
chkconfig crond on

Answer 4

Please check the spaces, it could be because of spaces are not placed correctly

Answer 5

Please remove the "--quiet" part from your cron command and check the log and feed again

Answer 6

In Amazon Linux 2 you should enter these commands:

sudo systemctl start crond
sudo systemctl enable crond
