So if you do: ```auto php app/console ``` That will just be an info page with no command sent to it. To do a command you actually will pass a second value: ```auto php app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod ``` That should actually be a command running. Is that what you have in your cron configuration? ---

my cron job is this ```auto php /home/xxx/public_html/mautic/app/console mautic:lists:update --env=prod ``` ---

I was having exactly the same errors with my shared hosting. Had to change my cron to: /usr/bin/php-cli -q /path/to/mautic/app/console mautic:leadlists:update --env=prod and it solved the problem. This fix was mentioned elsewhere in the forums but can’t remember where. ---

Yes php-cli worked for me on bluehost, whereas the regular php command doesn’t work there. Might be the same for you. I put in a change request for this in the docs to help people out. ---

Problem is that php-cli is not universal. All hosting companies have different ways of using their command line version of php. ---

The php cli helped a lot… I used the above code with public\_html instead of /path/to and it worked successfully. "/usr/bin/php-cli -q /home/cpaneluser/public\_html/sitename.com/script Although it was related to laravel framework. ---
