help setting up cron

would anyone be willing to help me set up cron correctly? I know that it is easy for most, but I am pretty new at this. Any help is appreciated. The main thing is, I am unsure of where to tell it to run.

which dolphin are you using?

If you are setting up Dolphin 7, use the following directions:

Go to your cPanel, clikc Cron Jobs, click advanced (unix style)

it should look very similar to this:

Minute    Hour   Day  Month  Weekday                                  Command

*           *        *       *          *                     /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/mysite/public_html/periodic/cron.php

*** Note: Command path may vary to your specific location
