Cron fails on URL parse

[MrDog]

My cron entry reads:

/usr/local/bin/ea-php82 /home/birdli7/public_html/cronjobs/blp_cronjob_scheduler.php

This is what my host recommends. Yet I get the error

Could not parse the requested URI http:///home/birdli7/public_html/cronjobs/blp_cronjob_scheduler.php

In other words extra // added. It is a shared server so I have no access to most commands. I guess I could fix it by patching the Joomla code but I really don't want to go there. Running the latest Joomla 4 and PHP 8.2

What is actually in /home/birdli7/public_html/cronjobs/blp_cronjob_scheduler.php ?

That looks dodgy because it can be called via a web browser. It would be best to put your php script in /home/birdli7/bin

Thanks - never considered that. The code is actually pretty secure but a useful tip. At the moment I have (reluctantly) patched libraries\vendor\joomla\uri\src\UriHelper.php to replace /// with // and that fixes the issue, but not a long term solution!
