-If it is not possible to set up a cron job then please activate the "frontend worker" in the administration interface.+Some hosting providers use different versions of PHP for web server, command line and processes started by the system itself. In this case it might be necessary to provide the path of the PHP binary to use in local.config.php by setting php_path: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +'config' => [ 
 +                'php_path' => '/usr/bin/php82', 
 +                …, 
 +        ], 
 +</code>
