Cron job failed in Google App Engine Flexible environment

Question

I m migrating my PHP application from Google App engine Standard Environment to Flexible environment.

My application working fine with database and send grid. But Cron jobs are failed.

I could not find what I missed to run a Cron job in GAE Flexible environment.I gave sample application code here.

app.yaml

runtime: php
env: flex

runtime_config:
document_root: web

handlers:

- url: /crontest
script: crontest.php

- url: .*
script: index.php

#[START env]
env_variables:
MYSQL_DBNAME: CRONDB
MYSQL_USER: root
MYSQL_PASSWORD: root123
MYSQL_CONNECTION: /cloudsql/project-id:us-central1:testphp7
#[END env]

#[START cloudsql_settings]
# Use the connection name obtained when configuring your Cloud SQL instance.
beta_settings:
cloud_sql_instances: "project-id:us-central1:testphp7"
#[END cloudsql_settings]

cron.yaml

- description: cron test
url: /crontest
schedule: every day 17:00
timezone: Asia/Kolkata

web/connection.php

<?php    
    $con = new mysqli(null,$_SERVER['MYSQL_USER'],$_SERVER['MYSQL_PASSWORD'],$_SERVER['MYSQL_DBNAME'],null,$_SERVER['MYSQL_CONNECTION']);
?>

web/crontest.php

<?php

include "connection.php";

$ATERM_spcallstmt="INSERT INTO SAMPLE(TEST_NO)VALUES('9876')";
$con->query($ATERM_spcallstmt);
?>

web/index.php

<?php
echo " Test Cron in FE";
?>

Create table Query:

CREATE TABLE SAMPLE(TEST_NO VARCHAR(250));

Log from API Console

}

I got HTTP 404 & Cron Failed.

Please help me to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like the cron is trying to accessing /web/crontest.php which is incorrect path in your case. I suspect you still have old cron config alive?
