CakePHP shell as a Cron Job not working on godaddy

Question

Hello,

I have developed a application in CakePHP, and setup a cron Job with Shell. I have hosted the application in our development server, bluehost and setup the cron Job and its working fine.

The cron Job Command was,

/home4/enventur/public_html/pennystock/cake/console/cake -app "/home4/enventur/public_html/pennystock/app" message_board_counts

When I moved to the live server, Godaddy, and setup the cron Job its not working

/web/cgi-bin/php $HOME/html/pennystock/cake/console/cake -app "$HOME/html/PennyStock/app" message_board_counts

Also tried the below patterns,

$HOME/html/pennystock/cake/console/cake -app "$HOME/html/PennyStock/app" message_board_counts

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Thanks in Advance

In both lines that you tried on Godaddy, you have "pennystock" and "PennyStock". If the filesystem is case sensitive, you need to make those match each other and match the name of the actual directory. In your original cron job on your development server you're using all lower case.
