Setting up Cron on Hostmonster through the cPanel interface

Last modified: January 10, 2008 - 21:51
  1. Logging into the cPanel interface for your hostmonster account, scroll to the bottom and look in the "Advanced" section
  2. Select "Cron Jobs." It is represented with a calendar icon
  3. Select "Standard"
    • Do not use an email address or you will be hit with a notification every time the cron job runs
  4. Enter the following command: php /home/+++Your hostmonster login username+++/public_html/cron.php
    • This is only for your main domain, subdomains are in different folders
  5. Select the number of times that you would like the cron job to run
  6. See if it works -you can check whether or not a Cron Job has been run in the Logs menu in Drupal
