cron task issue

Thank you for your reply,

with the suggested steps :

1. make sure /var/spool/cron owned by apache:apache and permissions 770
   
2. make sure /var/spool/cron/apache owned by apache:apache and permissions 660
   
3. the correct cron script path is: your_domain_com/CRONFILE.php or your_domain_com/SUBFOLDER/SUBFOLDER/CRONFILE.php
   (Use starting slash CentOS/Ubuntu. No starting slash if using Windows!)
   

I can do step 1., step 3. is set correctly, but in step 2., when I try to access /var/spool/cron/apache,  i get "no such file or directory", I am using Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

here is what I get when i issue the ls command (step 1. not set yet)
root@panel:/var/spool/cron# ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root     root     4096 Mar 13 08:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root     root     4096 Apr  1 06:58 ..
drwxrwx--T 2 daemon   daemon   4096 Jun  1 00:20 atjobs
drwxrwx--T 2 daemon   daemon   4096 Jun  1 00:20 atspool
drwxr--r-- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Apr  1 12:46 crontabs

the content of the cron task that I am trying to set  "accounts_jobs.php" is as follow :

<?php

    //Disable Expired Domains

    //Delete Expired Domains after X Days - this will probably come in the next version
