**pyrorain** · 07-17-2008, 08:13 AM

so I multiimported several files, i run mydomain.com/cron.php manually, and it converts the files just fine, but whe i set up a 10 min cron job i get the following error message:

Code:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/modules/ffmpeg.so' - .//usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0/modules/ffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Class 'ffmpeg_movie' not found in /home/to/mysite/public_html/video/include/classes/class.video_duration.php on line 54

my question is, how come it works fine mannually, but cannot open the extension when setup in a cron job?

Something is not right in path to the file for the cron job? Did you notice this in the code? Is this correct?

Code:

cronjob started


STARTING VIDEO CONVERSION (process_queue.id = 151)</p><hr>

File: /home/to/mysite/public_html//video/video/cam.flv

and

Code:

/home/to/mysite/public_html/video/include/classes/class.video_duration.php on line 54

I have cron jobs set like this:

Code:

/usr/bin/php -q /home/******/public_html/******/cron.php  > /dev/null &

Where ****** is my user name and the directory that the video site is located.

that's only becasue i use a dedicated box
if the path were wrong, then it owudlnt find the cron.php file. the porblem is that after it finds the corn.php file, it wont convert becasue it cant find ffmpeg.so.

becasue it cant find ffmpeg.so

Oh, OK then it sounds like a configuration issue either with the cronjob or with your server or both. I've never had a problem with the cron thing myself. Maybe someone else knows. Anyone?
