Cronjob to PHP5?

[ayok]

Hi,
I'm new to directadmin and linux.
Recently I set up a cronjob to run my script with php5 functions inside. I've set up the file path like this

/usr/local/bin/php -q -f /home/beterdeals/domains/beterdeals.nl/public_html/cron_jobs/deals_cron.php

It works. However, it uses php4 and couldn't find any php5 function. I've tried to change the path to /usr/local/php5/bin/php but then it doesn't work anymore.

Could anyone tell me how to fix it?

Thanks,
ayok

I've tried to change the path to /usr/local/php5/bin/php but then it doesn't work anymore.

What error do you get?
What if you run as the following:

cd /home/beterdeals/domains/beterdeals.nl/public_html/cron_jobs/ && /usr/local/php5/bin/php -q -f ./deals_cron.php

What error do you get?

I got no php error and the file is not executed. I don't know where I can see the error from cron job.

What if you run as the following:

cd /home/beterdeals/domains/beterdeals.nl/public_html/cron_jobs/ && /usr/local/php5/bin/php -q -f ./deals_cron.php

Just paste whole line? still doesn't work.

Then you'd better to check with already existing thread here: https://www.google.com/search?q=php cron site:directadmin.com

I've checked /var/log directory but it's just blank.

There is a new setting in crons to email all output to your email. You should set that to see what output you are getting. It is in the cronjob section. Make sure your directadmin is up to date.
