I'm using yii2 basic template for my application. I created a console command which executed successfully on my local. But when I run it in terminal on my bluehost site, I got this error "Exception 'yii\base\InvalidConfigException' with message 'Unable to determine the entry script file path.'"

I learn that the issue was about the php environment, that uses cgi instead of cli, got the info here https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/6244

I confirm it when checking the php -v host: PHP 5.4.34 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Oct 21 2014 17:19:35) local(dev): PHP 5.5.14 (cli) (built: Sep 9 2014 19:09:25)

How I can change this server environment to use cli instead of cgi. A step by step guide with bluehost environment would be appreciated.

You're trying to run console command with PHP CGI, which have different environment.

You should use PHP CLI, so call php-cli instead of php.

This problem is in Shared Hosting providers.

PHP is configured and installed on the server with two separate executable / binary files for CLI and CGI (FastCGI).

PHP CGI (FastCGI) /usr/bin/php

PHP CLI /usr/local/bin/php

phpshell or other tools that emulate like this, execute commands in CGI/FastCGI mode.

Cron Jobs in Shared Hosting are executed under cli mode
