I set up a cron job with my host for wp-mail.php.
This was done thru the vdeck program. It asks
for the path to the file, and info about when to run it.
(they only allow it to run 1x a day max).
This is the email I receive each day:
/path_to_file_here/wp-mail.php: permission denied
Any ideas what that means or what to do to get it to work?
To be clear: does the email actually say /path_to_file_here/, or did you sanitize the message?
If your host only allows 1 call per day, you might be interested in my Wp-Cron plugin, which includes wp-cron-mail.php to replace the wp-mail.php as shipped with WordPress. Using my plugin should allow you to side-step the cron limitations on your host.

Does wp-cron require me to set up a cron with the host?
The once-a-day with my host only asks me to set the path
to the file, which I did. The 'permission denied' seems to be
generated by the file itself. In other words, it is being found,
but it does not run. I am wondering if I need to set some
variables, but don't know where or what they would be. Anyone
with info on the setup?
I have the same issue with not understanding the exact syntax for a cron job.
