[Ruslan]

when i run cron in cpanel using this line:

/usr/local/php55/bin/php -f /home/user/public_html/crm/cron.php

i get: Cron can be run only via CLI


then i try to put in the cron.php:

#!/usr/bin/env php and i get this email from the cron:

$sapiName = php_sapi_name();

if (substr($sapiName, 0, 3) != 'cli') {
die("Cron can be run only via CLI");
}

include "bootstrap.php";

$app = new \Espo\Core\Application();
$app->runCron();

This was done for security reasons.

If you comment out the following:

if (substr($sapiName, 0, 3) != 'cli') {
die("Cron can be run only via CLI");
}

It should work - I had exactly the same problem with Hostmonster.

Hi, after upgrading to EspoCRM 5.0 I have the same problem. In which file do I make the changes? I tried it in upgrade.php, but there was no improvement.

[MicKress]

I made the changes in upgrade.php, extension.php and rebuild.php, but it I get always the same message "corn can be run only via CLI".

in cron.php

In cron.php there is no entry like mentioned.

ok, thanks a lot. Prob is solved. I made the entry in the cron.php and then I commented it out. Now it works ...
