Mobile Automatic Updates
Periodic updates will be applied to both the device and any browsers from your phone service provider. The CRON job and cron-wurfl.php will be called to detect these updates.
To setup the automatic updates with CRON Job follow these instructions.
- Login to cPanel
- Head to CRON Jobs
- Setup to run once a day
a. Provide the appropriate server path for cron-wurfl.php at the root level of CPV Lab - Enter the following command:
1cd /home//public_html/cpvlab/; php cron-wurfl.php
Alternately, if the above doesn’t work:
Replace with appropriate name from configs1php /home/<server-name>/public_html/cpvlab/cron- wurfl.php - Set the CRON job to run as scheduled by filling out the settings.
- Check the log files to ensure the CRON job is running correctly. Two files will be created in the Error Log.
