How to set cron job url for codeigniter?

Question

I am using CodeIgniter for my website. I have to use cron job to run one of controller function. I am using route in website. And also I am not using index.php in URL.

e.g. http://example.com/welcome/show, here welcome is my controller and show is function name of that controller.

I have used like this,

0 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/welcome/show

It is giving 'No such directory'

How can I set cron jon in cPanel for above URL.

Answer 1

Use:

php index.php welcome show

as command in your crontab. E.g.:

0 * * * * php /home/username/index.php welcome show

You can try with this one:

wget api.example.com/index.php/controller/function

Answer 4

You can also try:

0 * * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed http://example.com/welcome/show

Or localhost

0 * * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed http://localhost/welcome/show

I hope that is helpful.
