apache - How can I debug a PHP CRON script that does not appear to be running?

Question

I am trying to setup a CRON job using PHP, but am not having any luck so far.

I am following this tutorial: PHP - Create a Cron Job with PHP (dead link)

I have created the script file with the correct permissions, but the script is not being processed.

Any ideas?

Maybe your cron daemon isn't running? The daemon "crond" have to run on startup.

Check this with "ps -efc |grep crond"
