Cronjob isn't working

[blog]

Hi to All

I have one cronjob run 2 hours once

* */2 * * * wget -q -O - http://domain.com/fetch > /dev/null

When I run http://domain.com/fetch in browser it is working

but when run via cron isn't working

How I can check issue?

Thank you.

Remove > /dev/null and run the cronjob manually then you can see an error if anything goes wrong.

check permissions 777
and owner file

OMG, never use 777 if possible. Next to that it has nothing to do with cronjob permissions.

This is your problem. You are not allowed to access that http page. Maybe the server the cronjob is running from is in the firewall of that domain or something.

If you want, state hier the real url you are trying to use via the cronjob so we can test it. You can also send me the real cronjob per PM if you want then I can test what is going wrong and if it would work on one of my systems.
