Cronjob not working

Server
1

Hi, I’m running owncloud as follows:

Operating system: Raspian

Web server: Apache2

Database: MariaDB

PHP version: 7.1

ownCloud version: 10.4.04

Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: Update from older

Where did you install ownCloud from: I think apt

If I log into my “Adminpanel” the cronjobs are described like, last cronjob was done 11 hours before, there might be a problem.

crontab -u www-data -e

gives:

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /var/www/html/cron.php

The path is correct.

Doing this:

sudo -u www-data php occ background:cron

leads to this:

An unhandled exception has been thrown:
Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_file() in /var/www/html/lib/private/App/InfoParser.php:48

#9 /var/www/html/occ(11): require_once(’/var/www/html/c…’)

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?

Hey,

i put a few seconds effort into a search with the search function of the forums on the top right and found quite a lot posts about the same message like e.g.:

If i’m understanding the message correctly your PHP which is running the cron job is missing a mandatory PHP module.
