cronjob for search index gives errors

[deech123]

Hi guys,

on my server I can set cron jobs like :

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/mysite/public_html/adminfolder/searchcron?full=1&token=fApvuyFp 

If I do this I get an error like :No input file specified.

then I thought well let's do this (I add .php to the searchcron):

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/mysite/public_html/adminfolder/searchcron.php?full=1&token=fApvuyFp 

no luck either.
If I do this I get an error like :No input file specified.


and with this, it's also not working

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q http://www.myserver.com/adminfolder/searchcron.php?full=1&token=fApvuyFp 

I get the error :
/bin/sh: http://www.myserver.com/adminfolder/searchcron?full=1: No such file or directory


I'm having over 5 cronjobs working fine with files on the server.
only the last I want to add was the build search index.

no luck.

any idea what I can do to make it work?

Did some extra testing.

found out that there must be an error in the searchindex page cron stuff :-)

if I have this :

/ramdisk/bin/php5 -q /home1/mysite/public_html/adminfolder/searchcron.php?full=1&token=fApvuyFp 

this is correct, but gives me an error like : no input file specified.

when I try the direct url : http://www.mysite.com/adminfolder/searchcron.php?full=1&token=fApvuyFp

then the page is loading and loading and then after 2 minuts I get an error page like : this page does not longer excist.

and the url becomes : http://www.mysite.com/adminfolder/&conf=4

so really hope anybody can give me the clue to make it work.
I managed to cronjob my hugh import everynight as well as other jobs, but the search index is the last I want to run....

thx

did you find a solution to this?

I'm looking to re-build an index every 2 days or so and would like a cron job to do this, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
Robert

Hi just add this in a new file or in you cronjob file you are making.

echo "\n\n*******************************\nSTART INDEX\n*******************************\n";


if (substr(_COOKIE_KEY_, 34, 8) != 'fApv0mFp')
   echo ("ERRORS: SEARCH INDEX NOT SUCCESFUL");

ini_set('max_execution_time', 7200);
Search::indexation('1');
/* Tools::redirectAdmin($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].'&conf=4'); */
   echo ("SEARCH INDEX SUCCESFUL!");

die();

works like a charm.

robert,

that depens on the cron you use, i have a cron shedule in cpanel..so they are sometimes different.
you must ask your hosting firm what to use or look at their site what they offer as faq.
