I've never before written a PHP script to run on my home Ubuntu
machine (though I've written dozens of PHP cron jobs for my web
server), so I thought I'd start off with a very simple test:
#!/usr/share/php5
<?php
echo "hello";
?>
In a terminal window, I try to execute this, and I get a "bad
interperter" error:
lkrubner@programmerpc3:/$ /home/lkrubner/cron_jobs/
dailyBackupSpaceBunny.php
bash: /home/lkrubner/cron_jobs/dailyBackupSpaceBunny.php: /usr/share/
php5: bad interpreter: Permission denied
What does that mean?
The php5 interpreter in /usr/share/ has permissions set to 755. Any
script on the machine should be able to execute.

it means you got the wrong interpreter

The Synaptic Package Manager also tells me that php5 is in /usr/share/
Mind you, my machine didn't have PHP installed till today. I just used
the Synaptic Package Manager to install it.
The Synaptic Package Manager also tells me that php5 is in /usr/share/
Strange. My Xubuntu machine just has it on /usr/bin/php. Did you try to
set the first line to
#!/usr/bin/php
?
Good luck!

Doesn't seem possible that would work if both whereis and the Synaptic
Package Manager are suggesting a different address, but just for the
hell of it, I gave it a try. No dice:

That is just a sample php.ini file. You need to find where your php
executable is located - typically it's name is just 'php' (or 'php.exe
on Windoze).

OK, now that we're more clear - no, typically the Apache version uses a
module (or, occasionally, a CGI executable) while the command line uses
a non-cgi executable (although the cgi executable can be used).

Well, for anyone else working with Ubuntu, and downloading packages
through the Synaptic Package Manager, be aware that searching for
"PHP5" doesn't get you the command line version of PHP5. You need to
specifically ask for "PHP5-cli".
As others suggested, this gets installed at /usr/bin/php5.
I now changed my script to this:
#!/usr/bin/php5
<?php
echo "hello";
?>
and now it works.
Thanks to everyone for all the help.

just fyi: the "bad interpreter" error can also occur if you wrote a
script on windows and tried to run it on linux. It doesn't like the
\r on that same line, apparently. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
