check first line of file and check your cron command, there are two separate signs -`-and -'- between dashes

check first line of file and check your cron command

the pipe.php in whmcs is encoded !

there are two separate signs -`-and -'- between dashes

I don't know how to fix this problem, please explain a bit more..

maybe unsupported PHP version, or ioncube not installed, or short_open_tag in php.ini

ioncube is installed - last ver.
short_open_tag is ON
and php version is 7.3 - whmcs supported php 7.3
?

Cronjob shouldn't have "|" in the beginning.

Cronjob shouldn't have "|" in the beginning.

without "|" :

Cron <admin@server> php -q /home/admin/domains/domain.com/crons/pipe.php

        This file cannot be accessed directly

I guess it’s an email pipe, you should add it with | to email forwarders, not cronjobs.

thanks smtalk
how to setup email piping via forwarders in directadmin ?

whmcs message:

Important Notes
Note: The pipe.php file requires 755 permissions to function properly.
If using DirectAdmin, you must enter the command enclosed in quotes "" for it to be accepted.

Just go to email forwarders section and add the pipe as destination Examples: https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...le-to-set-up-through-the-control-panel.24329/
