CodeIgniter cron job command line error

My hosting package (Cloud Next) actually includes scheduled tasks as standard with a testing facility and instructions for setting up a new task.

My question is whether or not I am using correct command line:

/usr/bin/php /home/sites/mydomain.com/public_html/index.php update home

My update script url is: http://www.mydomain.com/admin/update - however, I use subfolders for my controllers, therefore (with routing) my controller is found in ...application/controllers/admin/update.php so my controller is "update" and my method is "home".

Testing the above command line returns the following:

"Your script returned the following: X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.27

Content-type: text/html

welcome"

It's definitely NOT executing the script as required... The fact the word "welcome" is returned makes me think it's not factoring in the controller and method parameters.

Use this:

/usr/bin/php /home/sites/mydomain.com/public_html/index.php admin/update home

Enjoy!

I had a similar problem - try this

/usr/local/bin/php /home/sites/mydomain.com/public_html/index.php admin update home

Not sure about the subfolder routing so try it with and without the admin, but the problem I had with it ignoring the call to the controllers and returning the default welcome message was fixed by using /usr/local/bin/php
