Setting up Cron Jobs for phpAdsNew in Cpanel
In order for phpAdsNew to create accurate statistics and deliver ad campaigns with the weightings you specify, it requires you to set up a cron job. Although there are various ways to do this, as CPanel is one of the most common control panels on PHP/MySQL enabled servers this tutorial offers a quick guide on how to set up the relevant cron job through the CPanel wizard.
If you log in to CPanel, you should see an icon/link to Cron Jobs.
Once in Cron Jobs, select the Standard interface with which you will find a simple looking page, with a few menus to choose options.
In the ' Command to run' box, type (with your phpadsnew installation directory):
curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.example.com/phpadsnew/maintenance/maintenance.php
Select 0 Minutes, Every Hour, Every Day, and Every Month from the menus
Click on ' Save Crontab'
That's it, phpAdsNew should now deliver campaigns and create statistics and reports as you set it up to do.
