Debug Cpanel Cronjob Error

Hello everyone,

I am trying to run artisan command using the following command in cpanel:

/usr/local/bin/ea-php74 /home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1 artisan schedule:run >/home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1/cron.log 2>&1

This command output empty cron.log file but no job is being processed. In my local environment everything works fine. My kernel.php:

$schedule->command('queue:work --tries=3')->everyMinute()->withoutOverlapping();

If I don't have root and whm access how do I find the error? I have checked error.log file but no error is logged.

@nnnayeem You shouldn’t use the scheduler to run the queue worker.

@martinbean The queue is not being processed even if I run the following command:

/usr/local/bin/ea-php74 /home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1 artisan queue:work --tries=3 >/home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1/cron.log 2>&1

@nnnayeem Again, you shouldn’t be running a queue worker from a cron job.

Your host should have tutorials as well.

Edit:

If I don't have root and whm access how do I find the error?

ssh in with putty or similar. Your host should have instructions for all of this stuff.

Well, for starters you're missing a directory separator between the project folder and the artisan command:

/usr/local/bin/ea-php74 /home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1/artisan queue:work --tries=3 > /home2/nemanufacturer/website/core1/cron.log 2>&1
