A cron job with a URL parameter is not working in cpanel

I have added the following cron job URL with a parameter in cpanel, but it is not working.

0 * * * * php http://www.example.com/cron.php?instance=0

After searching a lot I changed this as follows.

0 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php?instance=0

But this is also not working for me.

Solution 
  • 0 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php?instance=0

    Some of server can not read the cron job URL with a parameter. They read the parameter if you use parameter as follows.

    0 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php instance=0

    This works for me!
