cron job returns 404 error

I'm trying to run php script via cron job and got 404 error. My command is : */1 * * * * curl www.domain.com/folder/script.php And I got cron email like this :

% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0

    /folder/script.php (port 80)
  

    Please forward this error screen to www.domain.com's]
    
    WebMaster.

What is the source of this problem? I've been using the same command for Cron job and it has worked in other sites.

Hello :) Have you tried using PHP directly? EX:
/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/username/public_html/folder/script.php
Thank you.

Yes, it solved the problem. Thank you so much. Service provider asked me to try the following : /usr/bin/curl

I suggest consulting with your web hosting provider to have them review the cron job and determine why it's producing a 404 error page. It's difficult to troubleshoot that type of issue without root access. Thank you.
