I have setup a cron to execute one of my php scripts. But the problem is the php script is not being executed at all not even partially.

Here is the cron I have set up

45 23 * * * /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/myscript.php

I have tried the following

I have used the command whereis php it gives the following
```
php: /usr/bin/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz
```

Now, I don't know what else I can do. Please Help.

P.S. I can execute the script manully and it runs perfectly.

   --no-header

   -q             Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP header output (CGI only).



   --file file

   -f file        Parse and execute file

-q doesn't do anything in php-cli mode. As others have pointed out, you need -f.

Revert it with:

chmod -x /var/www/myscript.php

$ which php

/usr/bin/php
