No PHP Binary - Cronjob Options?

[Dave96]

Hi,

My server does not use the PHP binary. Is there any option to still be able to run the poller.php from the crontab? Will the wget method work?

Thanks

Without php you will be lost. poller.php and the whole WebInterface will not work without php

I have PHP installed but not the php binary. It's installed as a module bundled with my control panel.

This means that I cannot run "php poller.php" since there is no php binary.

Is there an alternative or must I recompile php?

You should recompile PHP with CLI support. Even if you could make it run through apache (which I assume that is what you mean), you are better off ahead with the CLI support because later down the road you might want to run things like database ugprades etc, and you will want to run them from the command line to see what happens.
