One of the scripts I purchased wants me to set a cron job as follows

0 * * * * php "path to your website dir"/cron.php

So I set it up like this in Cpanel on a shared hosting account in the Advanced (Unix Style)

Minute Hour Day Month Weekday Command
0 * * * * /home/username/public_html/cron.php

I keep getting emails saying this

/bin/sh: /home/usermname/public_html/cron.php: Permission denied

Does this mean that the cron job is not being done or being denied permissions or does it mean my email address is not acepting emails from the cron job

If it is the cron job that is being denied should I change the file permissions on the cron.php or have I done something else wrong

Thanks
