troubleshooting

Ok I have a PHP file sitting on the server with the agent running. I can login with the same username and password i start the agent with and connect with using the apply credentials option when setting up the job. I run the ./script.php command line local on the server running the agent and it works fine. i set up a job using the 24x7 software /bin/sh -c script.php and the software tells me the job ran but doesnt run nothing in any of the logs on agent or master

Any idea what this error is all i did was kill the agent and restart it. It has to be monday

Are PHP config and environment variables visible to the job?

Can you run phpinfo as a job (see http://www.php.net/phpinfo)? Send the command output to a file and check what you get there
/bin/sh -c phpinfo.php > my_php.log

Hope this helps.

Yes, I did do that and was able to take care of the issue. I am not sure why we were getting that parse date error when trying to run the program but we just reinstalled the agent and it seems to be working now.
