execv("/bin/bash") failed system error: No such file or directory

Hi guys,

I have a new server, upgraded to php 5.3 so wordpress would work.

Using plesk, 10.2, 64 bit system 4 gigs of ram,

I'm trying to set up a corn tab with the following,

php -q /var/www/vhosts/blogengage.com/httpdocs/file-here.php

When I get the e-mail I get the following error,

execv("/bin/bash") failed
system error: No such file or directory

Godaddy will not help so I'm all alone here,

Is there a way to fix this?

EDIT:

Hi guys, I found one article,

http://kb.parallels.com/en/111351

To resolve the issue, set one of the valid shell options for the domain system user.

I'm not sure how to set up the valid shell options for the domain system user

 

Is that domains user allowed ssh access, did you follow the articles suggestion?

What is the users details in /etc/passwd

domainuser:x:0:0::/home/domainuser:/bin/bash

 

Hi I didn't understand what the article meant really nor how to do that using the plesk or SSH.

I have now passed that part and allowed access. Now the system is throwing another error,

PHP Warning:  Directive 'safe_mode' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0

PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'modules/rss_import/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc' (include_path='.') in /var/www/vhosts/blogengage.com/httpdocs/modules/rss_import/file_here.php on line 311

I look at that file and this is what it shows from the area!

I also found this,

As the error states, it failed opening the file that was requested, does that file actually exist in that directory?

 

Assuming I have the right path above for the file location yes, I can confirm the file is in fact in the directory of the /httpdocs/
