in laravel 4 showing 'Impossible CRON expression' about dispatcher

[bkuhl]

Can you show me the output of scheduled:summary?

That summary couldn't have been generated by the PHP code you provided.

[hardevine]

oh yes,

+----------------+---------------------+-----------+--------+------+--------------+-------+-------------+--------+

hmm, digging deep found something peculiar. My timezone is +5.30 in php & l4 so referencing mtdowling/cron-expression#55
commented out in HoursField.php

//$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

this makes 'Invalid CRON expression' disappear, but now its getting stuck at

Inv.Arg.Excp - 'There are no commands defined in the xyz namespace'

manually running 'scheduled:run' / individual commands from ssh works,

even running individual artisan commands from cron works also, but not from, when 'dispatcher:run' is 'cronned' ;)

also #68 didnt worked.

dispatcher cron command (/usr/local/bin/php is cli-php; using cPanel):

cd /home/usr/pub_html/app && /usr/local/bin/php artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

individual artisan command works:

cd /home/usr/pub_html/app && /usr/local/bin/php artisan footest 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

[hardevine]

Running scheduled:run --debug from ssh gave

footest: /usr/bin/env php /home/usr/public_html/acme/artisan footest > /dev/null &

it helped to figure out that its using 'php' to run commands which is cgi version, but in cPanel cli is at '/usr/local/bin/php', so yeah all it needs is 'config::executable' path for php ie. #75

nailed (except 'cron-expression''s timezone bug ;), thanks @bkuhl 👍

[bkuhl]

I'm glad you got it working... there's a lot that went on in your last few comments so I'd like to clarify to be sure I understand what the solution is.

Are you saying that your sole fix was to customize the config::executable path to use /usr/bin/env?

[hardevine]

@bkuhl before that i had to fix HoursField.php because it was causing 'Impossible CRON Expression'

[usmanhalalit]

@bkuhl, I'm having the exact same issue.

Laravel 4.2
"indatus/dispatcher": "1.4.*"
Forge Server with Linode.

Log:

{"message":"Impossible CRON expression","context":[],"level":400,"level_name":"ERROR","channel":"production","datetime":{"date":"2015-01-22 02:59:01.567212","timezone_type":2,"timezone":"EST"}

Summary:

Cron:

/usr/bin/php /home/forge/domain.com/artisan scheduled:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Any help without hacking the package would be highly appreciated.
