Cron tasks
Many Drupal modules (such as the search functionality) have periodic tasks that must be triggered by a cron job. To activate these tasks, call the cron page by visiting http://www.example.com/cron.php -- this will pass control to the modules and the modules will decide if and what they must do. To call cron.php periodically you need to setup a cron job.

cPanel offers a way to set cronjobs via Server » Cron jobs. Carefully read the instructions on the screen; they may differ from the following example.
To run cron.php every day set the Minute and Hour fields to
0 and the rest of the fields to *. The command to run is:GET http://www.example.com/cron.php > /dev/null
