 How to setup cron job in cpanel
Solution Many a times, users will place the URL inside the cron job, and always wonder why the cron job does not work. What you may have done is putting just the URL into the cron command, for example:

0 0 * * * http://www.websiteurl.com.sg/pathtoyourfile.php

The above command will not work, because the cron job system will not understand what it is required to do, here are 2 popular methods of running a cron job via cPanel.

For example:

0 0 * * * php -q /home/youraccountusername/public_html/pathtoyourfile.php

0 0 * * * wget -q -O/dev/null http://www.websiteurl.com.sg/pathtoyourfile.php
