Permission denied cron job in Cpanel

Question

I set up a cron job in Cpanel according to backup but received this email alert: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: /home/mahsanwe/cron_backups.php: Permission denied

How to fix it?

command: /usr/local/bin/php /home/mahsanwe/cron_backups.php I also set the permission to 755 but doesnot work! — yasaman Hosseinzadeh, Feb 21 '17 at 09:16
Be sure that the cron_backups.php has the right owner:group (cpaneluser:cpaneluser). Also you could delete the cron job from cPanel and try to re-create it again — Bogdan Stoica, Feb 21 '17 at 09:23
Thanks for your answer .my problem was solved,I should have check this line in the file: $skin = "paper_lantern"; // Set to cPanel skin you use (script will not work if it does not match). — yasaman Hosseinzadeh, Feb 22 '17 at 10:08

Please add the PHP command to be executed. It should be like this.

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/mahsanwe/cron_backups.php
