Nextcloud version 19.0.1:
Operating system and version Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Issue:
in the Settings -> Basic Settings , where you can choose your cron method, it says “there has been no cron execution since 8 Moths” !
No cron variant seems to have effect.
Calling cron.phph with cUrl :
curl https://www.xample.com/cron.php
-> {"status":"success"}
What might be the reason?
On your own server I would recommend to create a valid crontab entry instead of using web cron. Please study the administrator guide which shows you in detail how the cron.php script need to be executed and a crontab entry need tp look like.
Does it say after status":"success that cron has been run?
What if you run it on the command line.
sudo -u www-data php /nextcloud-install-dir/cron.php
have you made a cronjob like
sudo -u www-data crontab -e
And added something like
*/30 * * * * php -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
And put setting to system cron
As I said, none of the methods seem to have effect.
The Instance is in a shared hosting environment, I cannot create cronjobs.
I can run
php /nextcloud-install-dir/cron.php
This seems to work.
But none of the other methods do work.
