Answer 1

Had the same issue and after trying whatever I could thing the obvious worked... /usr/local/bin/php /absolute/path/to/index.php cron

Answer 2

Here is solution first you need to find path from phpinfo document_root file name

php5 /home/abc/public_html/index.php folder_name controller function

Answer 3

The default PHP install you are using was probably compiled as CGI-FCGI, not for CLI. It depends on your host and/or server, but you'll need to search for your PHP install for the command line interface, and then use that in your cron job. I had the exact same problem on Hostmonster, and my cron command ended up being:

/ramdisk/bin/php5-cli ~/public_html/sitefolder/index.php controller method

For me, the PHP I needed was in /ramdisk/bin/php5-cli.

Answer 4

/usr/local/bin/php /home/jdstable/public_html/dev/index.php cron decrease_pets_stats

This fixed it.

Answer 5

For CodeIgniter 2.2.0

You can try this two method:

1. php-cli /home/username/public_html/index.php controller method
2. wget http://www.example.com/controller/method

or at your case

1. php-cli /home/username/public_html/index.php Cron decrease_pets_stats
2. wget http://www.example.com/Cron/decrease_pets_stats

It works fine with me.. Cheers!
