Hmm not sure then… The permissions of the cron.php are different than mine:
Mine are 644 (rw-r–r–) Maybe you could try to change that…
You could also check the syslog for cron errors…
cat /var/log/syslog | grep crontab
Other than that I’m out of ideas…
Hmm no change on permission change.

Sorry not sure then… Maybe you can also search through the issues on GitHub and similar threads in the forums. Lately I noticed an accumulation of users who seem to have issues with cornjobs on NC25. So far I have only updated my test instance to NC25, and cron continued to work, without any issues…
Do you think this could be my issue?
root@*****:~# su www-data -c php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
This account is currently not available.
www-data crontab contents for context:
No, that’s normal because www-data doesn’t have an interactive shell. You need to preserve the environment of the current user with the -p option…
su -p -c "php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php" www-data
or you could just use sudo instead of su:
sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
Thanks! that helped me able to test the command!
this is how i need my command:
*/5 * * * * php --define apc.enable_cli=1 -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
i was doing this before as it says to append it to the command. So novice here was putting --define apc.enable_cli=1 after the file path like this
*/5 * * * * php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php --define apc.enable_cli=1
and also tried this one that didnt work
*/5 * * * * php -f --define apc.enable_cli=1 /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
but these are clearly all lack of linux knowledge as the issue!
