Problem running cronjobs

Hi,

When running runcronjobs.php I get the following error

Warning: require(autoload/ezp_kernel.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/autoload.php on line 34

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'autoload/ezp_kernel.php' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/autoload.php on line 34

safe mode is definitely off, runcronjobs.php is being run from thehome directory of the Exponential installation, and the direct and file permissions are correct and autoload/ezp_kernal.php does exist.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Hi,

Can you provide more information about the environment like CLI PHP version, modules, permissions to file, etc. Make sure that the path is correct to the Exponential root folder.

Try manually execute

$ php runcronjobs.php

You can also ask for help your systems administrator (hosting company).

Hi Lukasz,

thanks for your response,

I am using PHP 5.1.2 with the corresponding PHP CLI.

Using an SSH clinet I have navigated to the home directory of the Exponential installation and run runcronjobs.php and still receive the same message.

The permissions of all the relevant files are set to rwxrwxr-x

I am completely puzzled by this.......

I have now sorted this.

PHP cli has a different php.ini to the php apache module. the php cli safe_mode was set to on!!

Cronjobs use the PHP cli module, not the apache module it seems

Hi Richard,

i don't know my problem is the same as yours

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.5
Content-type: text/html

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  require_once(lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/mxnttv/www/ezhome/kernel/classes/ezpersistentobject.php</b> on line <b>57</b><br />
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/home/mxnttv/www/ezhome/kernel/classes/ezpersistentobject.php</b> on line <b>57</b><br />

What is the problem of course ?

I had the same problem and it was the same fix as Richard.

I ran:

php -i |grep php.ini

from ssh to get the path to the php.ini file that was being used.

edited it with

vi /etc/php.ini

Turned off safe mode, saved with :wq

Now it works!

I've got the same problem...

Warning: require_once(lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php): failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in
/home/site/ftp/Exponential/kernel/classes/ezpersistentobject.php on line 57

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required
'lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in
/home/site/ftp/Exponential/kernel/classes/ezpersistentobject.php on line 57

EDIT: SOLVED. runcronjobs must be executed in eZ root folder.

I met the same problem myself by wrongly assuming the php.ini file used by the apache web server is exactly the same as when running php.ini.

Under the windows environment (I am running a windows xp testing server) I changed the entries in the environmental variables. That solved the problem for me.
