Thank you for your reply,

with the suggested steps :

1. make sure /var/spool/cron owned by apache:apache and permissions 770
   
2. make sure /var/spool/cron/apache owned by apache:apache and permissions 660
   
3. the correct cron script path is: your_domain_com/CRONFILE.php or your_domain_com/SUBFOLDER/SUBFOLDER/CRONFILE.php
   (Use starting slash CentOS/Ubuntu. No starting slash if using Windows!)
   

I can do step 1., step 3. is set correctly, but in step 2., when I try to access /var/spool/cron/apache,  i get "no such file or directory", I am using Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

here is what I get when i issue the ls command (step 1. not set yet)
root@panel:/var/spool/cron# ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root     root     4096 Mar 13 08:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root     root     4096 Apr  1 06:58 ..
drwxrwx--T 2 daemon   daemon   4096 Jun  1 00:20 atjobs
drwxrwx--T 2 daemon   daemon   4096 Jun  1 00:20 atspool
drwxr--r-- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Apr  1 12:46 crontabs

the content of the cron task that I am trying to set  "accounts_jobs.php" is as follow :

<?php
 /**
 * Front-end cron script for ZPanel xBilling Module
 * Version : 1.1.0
 * @author Aderemi Adewale (modpluz @ ZPanel Forums)
 * Email : goremmy@gmail.com
 * @desc Performs checks for Domain Expiration Reminder, Invoice Reminder, Domain Deletion 
*/
    $dir = '../';
    require_once('../config.php');
    require_once('../functions/xbilling.php');
    
    //Invoice Reminder
    InvoiceReminder();

    //Disable Expired Domains
    DisableExpiredDomains();
    
    //Renewal Reminder
    RenewalReminders();    
    
    //Delete Expired Domains after X Days - this will probably come in the next version
    DeleteExpiredDomains();
?>

On Ubuntu I have:

Code:

/var/spool/cron/crontabs

With two files in it:

root             rw------    root               (0600 permissions)
www-data    rw------    www-data      (0600 permissions)     <-- contains Sentora cron jobs

If this works, I will update the tutorial.
