I’ve made sure the chron jobs are pointing to the correct path in my hosting environment. However, for some reason they don’t seem to be functioning correctly. I get errors from my server every time they try and run: “Could not open input file: /path/app/console/” Any ideas would be much appreciated! ---

What is the full command you run in the cron setup? Are you using crontab for cron job setting or some UI from server provider? Do you have SSH access? ---

I am running three of the chron jobs provided as I do not intend to schedule emails. They are: php /home/user/web/url/public\_html/app/console/ mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod php /home/user/web/url/public\_html/app/console/ mautic:campaigns:update --env=prod php /home/user/web/url/public\_html/app/console/ mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod This is running on a web server that uses the VestaCP control panel. I am using the GUI in VestaCP to add the Chron jobs. I have SSH turned off on the server for security but can activate it if need be. Thank you very much for your help! ---

You install Mautic from a Auto Installer like Softlocus or you download Mautic from this site?[](https://www.mautic.org/download/) ---

If what you’ve pasted is correct for your cron jobs, there should not be a trailing slash after console. So for example, it should be `php /home/user/web/url/public_html/app/console mautic:campaigns:trigger --env=prod` ---
