And for completeness' sake, you want to own your files, or root, but not
Apache (you don't want any exploits to be able to re-write files). They
should be world readable, directories world executable. Group
permisions aren't important, unless playing with the Apache xbit hack.
e.g. rwx---r-x root root /var/www/html/
rw----r-- root root example.html
rw----r-- jim jim homepage.html
You may also need to play with SELinux contexts. There's a FAQ about
that on the Fedora website:
