Bitnami LAMPstack - cron not working

[faisalsadaf]

In SugarCRM, I have created a campaign, scheduled emails to be sent. Went to system shell, edited sudo cron to add the following command provided by SugarCRM:

* * * * cd /home/myhomedir/lampstack-1.2-3/apps/sugarcrm/htdocs; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
However, when i monitor syslog, i get the following error message:

(CRON) error (grandchild #3133 failed with exit status 127)

So I open a shell prompt, go to the sugarcrm/htdocs directory, and type:

which php

System says php not installed, and prompts me to install php. Well, I know that php is installed as part of LAMPstack, so what gives?

Does anyone have this issue? I just want my cron job to execute.

Thanks
Faisal

So, after a couple of hours of trying to figure this out (I'm a newbie), I found a forum thread that talks about invoking the cron.php from inside lampstack shell. Here's the commands that I typed:

cd /home/myhomedir/lampstack-1.2-3/
./use_lampstack
php -f /apps/sugarcrm/htdocs/cron.php

With the above three commands, I was able to test the script manually.

I am still challenged on how to add this to cron. Within the lampstack shell, I did this:

- crontab -e
- added a line as follows:
- * * * * * cd /home/mfansari/lampstack-1.2-3/; ./use_lampstack; php -f /apps/sugarcrm/htdocs/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Kept monitoring the syslog, and now getting this error:

(CRON) error (grandchild #3577 failed with exit status 127)

Apparently cron is not able to locate the script. Not sure if its not able to find ./use_lampstack or php itself.

Any ideas?
