cron.php doesn't work

[daniel09]

When I setup the cron events (email notifications) nothing happens.
I've also tried :
 php /path/opengoo/cron.php
and everything seems allright but nothing still happens

crontab is edited as this :
0-59   *   *   *   *   root   php /path/opengoo/cron.php

any idea?

maybe you should replace
0-59   *   *   *   *   root   php /path/opengoo/cron.php

by
*/1   *   *   *   *   root   /usr/bin/php /path/opengoo/cron.php

It will check every minutes

I've made the modification like you suggested, no changes.  The problem is not with crontab, because when I send the command manually nothing happens.  It maybe with cron events configuration in the administrative tab or it might have something to do with the installation (installed on synology CS407).

Well, sometimes nothing happens at home too...
Sometimes it works and somtimes I have nothing

I tried to understand the cron.php but I didn't. If someone wants to explain us, it would be so great

PS : Daniel, what do you see in /var/log/syslog about cron ?

[daniel09]

Thanks Benj,
There is nothing on cron in /var/log

What do you mean with nothing happens? You get no output? Note that if you have more than one version of PHP installed on your system, like 4.x and 5.x, the php binary may be pointing to the 4.x version. You need to use the 5.x, that could be in /usr/bin/php5.
