This cron used to work till yesterday. It suddenly stopped working. I am getting the following output. Any ideas?

/bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/php: No such file or directory
#cron #error

    Hmm, I don't know what distro of linux you are using, but generally PHP is installed in /usr/bin/php not /usr/local/bin/php. Perhaps you had a symlink there that disappeared?

    Add:

    #!/usr/bin/php

    in the top of your php file

    Good luck

    Actually, what you need to do is to find the right the path for your PHP location. As I see that either your PHP path is incorrect or the path to your executable file is incorrect. By the way to find the right path of PHP check PHP info of your web hosting provider

    1. Create a simple php file called info.php with the following content:

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    2. Copy this file to your web server.

    3. Then open this php file with your browser.

    Inside the report you will see path to php.ini in the row called     Configuration File (php.ini) Path.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    Just wanted to chime in that you can also try running the cron command with the prefix of the path to php, e.g. instead of only having your cron script use the path to the file as the argument, try something like:

    Code:
    28 14 * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /yourscript.php
    (or whatever the path to your php bin is)

    -q flag suppresses HTTP header output.

    Provided you have ssh access, login and run:
    Code:
    which php
    This will return the full path to the php binary.
