How to fix permission errors on process_email.php

I'm trying to setup the email features of a moodle 2.8.5+ (Build: 20150414) installation on a Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS box.

I tried following the instructions: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Email_processing, but I still get an error:

Jul 21 08:56:52 moodle local[19321]: message repeated 25 times: [ fatal: execvp /var/www/html/moodle/admin/process_email.php: Permission denied]

The messages on the mailq are

634FD35C12DA     5421 Tue Jul 21 11:01:02  www-data@myhostname.org (temporary failure. Command output: local: fatal: execvp /var/www/html/moodle/admin/process_email.php: Permission denied) 
mdl+@myhostname.org
www-data@myhostname.org

I tried giving permissions to the process_email.php but that doesn't work either. 

 -rw-r--r--  1 www-data www-data  8793 mar  9 12:30 portfolio.php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 1779 abr 20 23:41 process_email.php*
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 2294 mar 9 12:30 purgecaches.php
Any pointers on how to make it work are appreciated.
