Need some help getting cron working

So I added my crontab entry per the documentation. Since I've never had cron working on my system I figured I'd run the command from a shell and see if it runs. What it returns is something I'm not familiar with. This is on a FreeBSD machine and Chevereto is installed in a jail so the file paths look different from a usual linux install.

Code: 
jailer@chevereto:/ % php /usr/local/www/nginx/app/bin/legacy -C cron

vdd()
------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/www/nginx/app/legacy/load/integrity-check.php:158

Arg•0 array (size=2)
0 => string No write permission for PHP user root in <code>/content/</code> directory. Chevereto needs to be able to write in this directory. (length=129)
1 => string No write permission for PHP user root in <code>/app/content/</code> directory. Chevereto needs to be able to write in this directory. (length=133)
------------------------------------------------------------

What does this mean? It's seems to be a permissions issue but for where? Where is it trying to write to and more improtantly how do I fix it?

Just for some added info I checked permissions on the 2 directories listed in the error message. The php user in FreeBSD is www so it looks like file ownership is correct.

Code: 
jailer@chevereto:/ % ls -l /usr/local/www/nginx/app

I'm running the command with my user account, jailer. It won't run if you try to run it as root.

If I'm running the command from a user account calling php and php runs as root how do I change that so it runs as www?

Got it working. Had to install sudo and add
Code: 
sudo -u www
to the command. The entire output for cron to run for me on FreeBSD is:

Code: 
sudo -u www php /usr/local/www/nginx/app/bin/legacy -C cron

ETA: Is it normal for the time the last cron task was run in the dashboard to be displayed in UTC time format? It doesn't match the timezone that I'm in and what I have it set to.
