What's the exact command executed by your cron job?! - Bogdan Stoica
command: /usr/local/bin/php /home/mahsanwe/cron_backups.php I also set the permission to 755 but doesnot work! - yasaman Hosseinzadeh
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
Thanks for your answer - yasaman Hosseinzadeh

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

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

Change permission file to 755.
