Check your hosts control panel to see if you can do a cron task. Thats where you would put it.

Then you are completely out of luck and will need to use the page based cron tab.

Open the admin.phph and select Configuration. Then select Scheduler Variables. Beside the enable_pseudo_cron select Enable and save. You game will now run the cron when needed as each page refreshes. It's the only alternative for people who want to run the game but do not have access to a cron service.

If you are using the pseudo-cron you need to replace the pseudo-cron.inc.php file located in the backends\pseudo-cron directory.
