Curl command not working

[GarethS]

Hi Stefano,

The status says that the cron system isn’t running properly, so I’m following your advice about setting up a cron job/scheduled task. However, when I create this command:

curl https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

It doesn’t work. I’ve tried all sorts of variations. It just says ‘curl’ cannot be found.

Should I use PHP instead? If I use php (‘/bin/user/php’), then what would need to follow the file address? What’s the equivalent of “>/dev/null 2>&1”?

Thank you,

Gareth.

Hi, that means curl is not installed in your system. Ask the provider to install it, usually is required by PHP and WP as well.
