You may see warnings if the php.ini file that runs the system cron does not use the same version of PHP as the php.ini file that your web server uses.

Resolve a Cron PHP Version Mismatch Warning #

To resolve this issue:

1. Go to PHP Info. #

Go to Utilities > System > PHP Info.

2. Examine the Loaded Configuration File path. #

Examine the path for Loaded Configuration File. The path should indicate which version of PHP the file uses.

For example, a php.ini file at /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.ini indicates PHP 7.3.

3. Determine the path to the php.ini file. #

Use the steps in Find the Cron php.ini File to determine the path to the command line php.ini file and the PHP version that it uses.

4. Adjust the necessary PHP versions. #

Contact your hosting provider or system administrator for help to adjust the necessary PHP versions. These versions must match.
