Cron Next daily task run

I'm having so much trouble with the system cron. I can invoke it from the command line or my address bar. The cron is running every 5 minutes, however, it's not doing daily tasks.

The Automation Status screen says "Next Daily Task Run - 1 week". I have no idea how to change that or how it's determined.

It shows the last run 15 hours ago. Cron reports show it's running every 5 minutes, no errors in the crons folder. I have daily tasks set to 4am, they're not running even though cron is.

Any help or thoughts appreciated.

It just switched from 15 hrs ago to 14 hrs ago lol...what is happening? I think it's possessed.

I believe I have this figured out, and maybe it can help someone else.

My daily tasks weren't running and this is how I fixed it:

1. Moved /crons/ folder to root -- I just did this because it's more secure, I don't think it's necessary to make this work.

2. Made sure my account had SSH access. It would be weird if it didn't but just in case.

3. Changed the cron command from this:

php -q /home/<USER>/<WHMCS>/crons/cron.php

to this:

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/<USER>/crons/cron.php

Crons are running every 5 minutes and processing daily tasks at the time indicated in WHMCS now.
