New installation. Cron, script errors

mountain · December 27, 2017, 9:21pm

I just installed Nextcloud on my 'nix shared hosting server. I managed get to clear all the warnings. PHP is dialed in, security is good, caching set up. Just a couple of problems remain. I created a cron job in my cpanel (see https://ibb.co/jLnoxG). The output of the command is sent to me by email. At first the result was
{“status”-“success”}
But as soon as I changed the “Background Jobs” option (in Admin panel) to “Cron” (which I’m supposed to right?) then the output changed to this:
{“data”:{“message”:“Backgroundjobs are using system cron!”},“status”:“error”}
Also, since I set cron, I’ve been getting errors in my Nextcloud log. They say:
Error PHP Undefined index: SCRIPT_FILENAME at XXXXXXXX/public_html/cloud/lib/base.php#141
Error PHP Undefined index: SCRIPT_NAME at XXXXXXXXXX/public_html/cloud/lib/private/AppFramework /Http/Request.php#719
What is going on?

base.php, Line 141:
‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’ => $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’],

Request.php, Line 719:
$scriptName = $this->server[‘SCRIPT_NAME’];

You can try if you have a different php cli-binary that works (especially on hosting servers, they sometimes have different settings):

There was a report on the bug tracker:

Type:Bug

### Steps to reproduce 1. Set up cron to use <your_owncloud_dir>/cron.php 2. Che…ck mailbox where cron log messages are sent 3. see owncloud cronjob output in email ### Expected behaviour No email error message sent ### Actual behaviour Email contains the following information: Cron root@xxxxxxxx php -f /var/www/owncloud/cron.php PHP Notice: Undefined index: SCRIPT_FILENAME in /var/www/owncloud/lib/base.php on line 107 PHP Notice: Undefined index: SCRIPT_NAME in /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/request.php on line 168 As the cronjob runs every 15 minutes, this rapidly fills up the inbox ### Server configuration Ubuntu 14.04.4 **Web server:** nginx 1.7.6 **Database:** 10.0.14-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 **PHP version:** PHP 5.5.17-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cgi-fcgi) **ownCloud version:** (see ownCloud admin page) 7.0.2 **Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install:** 7.0 **Are you using encryption:** yes/no yes ### Client configuration php command line (php-cli) ### Quick fix php-cli does not have access to $_SERVER variables needed by the two php files that are mentioned in the output of the email in line 48 of cron.php, I have added the following lines in cron.php at line 48 so that php-cli does have access to these variables: ``` $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] = "/var/www/owncloud/cron.php"; $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] = "/cron.php"; ``` A better way would be to wrap this to check whether these variables are already set to accomodate for calling this from crontab or not

I changed the cron command from “php -f /path/cron.php” to " /usr/local/bin/php -f /path/cron.php ".
It seems to have done the trick. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
