WampServer

I have been trying to run my cron job I have tried a few tutorials on youtube, I have tried scheduled tasks, but nothing, how would I run it?

The URL I want to run is www.mysite.com/includes/timer/update_five_mins.php

Hi

You dont run a url from a Scheduled Task. You run a script via PHP CLI.

Okay thank you, how do I do this?

Google can be your friend.

Google "task scheduler php"

This site is for issues with WAMPServer itself, this is not a WAMPSevrer issue.

This site is also not for those that cannot be bothered to do any research for themselves.

I have google searched and have come up with nothing, and you said I don't run a URL via scheduled task windows, but that search is bring back nothing but for Windows Scheduled Tasks..
And can't be bothered doing the research, the post states that I have searched for it and have come up with nothing and what I have tried (tutorials) do not work...
I was simply just wondering if anyone has any methods of running a cron on wamp, because wamp does not give you any options for cron jobs....
So yes I have done the research, but can't find anything, so why be rude about it?

Right on windows they are not CRON jobs. CRON is a Unix feature.

On windows you can use Task Scheduler to achieve the same results.


Neither CRON nor Task Scheduler have anything to do with a Web Server or anything else delivered with WAMPServer.

Task Scheduler is a Windows Feature, documented on the microsoft site.


All you need to do is create a php script and then get Task Scheduler to launch it at the times you want to run it,

And I have tried that, with about 25 tutorials on youtube, and get no result from it, it doesn't update anything

If a task scheduled by Task Scheduler produces error, you can view those errors from the Task Scheduler.

Are you getting any errors?
If so what are they?

Nobody here is going to write this for you as we have absolutely zero idea what you are actually trying to achieve and non of us are not clairvoyant!
