Answer 1

I assume you are using shared hosting, the syntax suggested on CakePHP 3 Docs does not work for shared hosting, this is what worked for me

php -q -d register_argc_argv=on /home/public_html/bin/cake.php app main

Please use your own path for cake.php file

• -q --no-header Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP header output (CGI only).
• -d --define Set a custom value for any of the configuration directives allowed in php.ini

Hope that helps.
