Scheduling tasks on laravel forge

Hello all.

I've been struggling for an hour or so to setup schedules on laravel to work on forge.

I've setup the cron on forge (I believe this is correct but I am not sure)

I then have my schedule code:

$schedule->command('db:backup')->everyMinute();

This works when I run the command manually, but I cannot get it to work via scheduling.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Can you try running the php /home/forge/default/artisan schedule:run command manually in your terminal? Just to double check that the paths & the php bin are correct.

Thanks Andy, I'm getting the following: Could not open input file: /home/forge/default/artisan

There you go then. You're not pointing to the right folder. You need to find the location of your Laravel installation and do that. Usually it's /home/forge/<domain-name>/artisan
