I installed magento 2.1.9 on my shared hosting account. A system error message appears within the admin panel that states: "One or more indexers are invalid. Make sure your Magento cron job is running."

Below is a screenshot of the cron jobs I have:

Any idea if anything is wrong with my cron job? And how can I fix this issue within cPanel's cron job, without having to mess with command line?

An Update: Today my hosting provider informed me that I cannot be given SSH login details, since I'm on shared hosting environment. What is the way to update the indexer manually on a shared hosting environment, without SSH access?

You should set up cron for reindexing like this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php [path_to_document_root]/bin/magento indexer:reindex >> [path_to_document_root]/var/log/indexer.cron.log

Where:

* * * * * - time

/usr/bin/php - path to the php

Edit: If you don't know where the PHP binary exists on the server, you can use these commands to know the path of PHP:

which php

or

whereis php

Please let me know if you find any problem.
