Cron on HostGator with PHP 5.3
October 07, 2012, 08:44:36 am
The 'Scheduled Jobs' cron stopped working after I switch to PHP 5.3 on our HostGator server.  I was able to resolve this problem and I want to share the fix I found.

Switching over to PHP 5.3 from 5.2 requires editing the webserver's .htaccess file as described here: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/hardware-software/php-5-3..  This works, but it doesn't switch PHP CLI over to 5.3.

In order use PHP CLI 5.3 you have to specify the path to 5.3 (/opt/php53/bin/php) as described here: http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/cron-jobs-ssh-php-53-hostgator-shared-hosting/.

Here's an example which will display your PHP CLI version:

Code: [Select]
/opt/php53/bin/php -v
