[SOLVED] Setting up cronjob in cpanel using codeigniter php not working

Issue

i have a page in my website where i have a script in my view page mysite.com/feepayment/homecontroller/mystatus, whenever we visit the link, the script runs, now i want to add it to cronjob in cpanel, the cronjob in cpanel was showing an example like this: PHP command examples: General example: /usr/local/bin/php /home/mnyfxhioxjmc/public_html/path/to/cron/script

so i set the time setting to twice in 1 hour and in command box i gave: /usr/local/bin/php /home/mnyfxhioxjmc/public_html/feepayment/application/views/mystatus.php

but this doesnt seem to work, its giving me error in my mail like below:

Could not open input file: /home/mnyfxhioxjmc/public_html/feepayment/application/views/mystatus.php

can anyone please tel me whats wrong in here, thanks in advance

Solution

in codeigniter you should call the function using the application index followed by the controller and the function name. Ref: Running via the CLI

In your case if you have a Mystatus controller with the status function:

/usr/local/bin/php /home/mnyfxhioxjmc/public_html/feepayment/index.php mystatus status
