I am using a Hostinger's single shared hosting plan. I want to create a crone job for my laravel app. But every time I only get the error
fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
I created a customer crone job command
/usr/bin/php /home/u959931697/domains/checknrecheck.com/public_html/wp-cron.sh
And an .sh file in my public folder, with the content of:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/php /home/u959931697/domains/checknrecheck.com/public_html/inspireme_storage && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>
I tried almost every thing online, but with no success. Can someone share a functioning crone job for Laravel, or suggest some solutions? Thx in advance
a) why is your project in the public_html folder ? This is insecure
b) why are you running a cron job to fire a shell command? just run artisan direct from your cron job
cd /home/u959931697/domains/checknrecheck.com/public_html && /usr/bin/php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
adjust the above to the root of your laravel project
@Snapey I know it is insecure but I am was just trying to create my first crone job haha. When i paste your command, or any other with some special characters, i get the an error
Some characters are not allowed for cron job command
Then I looked online for a solution, and used the shell command.
@ivymaster what special characters?
This is copied directly from cpanel on a hostinger site
/usr/local/bin/php /home/bxxxxxx286/Live/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Just with the client name xxxxxx out
In this case, the deployed project is in Live folder, and public_html has been deleted and turned into a symlink to the laravel public folder
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bxxxxxx286 bxxxxxx286 26 Jul 6 16:47 public_html -> /home/bxxxxxx286/Live/public
