Re: Cron-Jobs does not work if I run php file via URL?

You cannot enter only a URL as a cron job command. It just will not work. A cron job needs to be a command that would be valid if you run it from the shell. As you have seen, calling a script by a path is valid in the shell; calling it via a URL is not valid in the shell.

If you need to run a cron job by accessing it by URL, use curl to call the URL. If the objective is to call /http://mysite.com/cron.php, then make this your cron command:

curl http://mysite.com/cron.php

That way, you are telling curl to get the URL for you. cron cannot do anything with a URL directly because cron is not a Web browser.
