Directories must have read and execute permissions for user "www-data"
(world read/execute if not owned by www-data or not with a www-data
group's permissions). Files must be readable by www-data. CGI scripts
must be executable by www-data.
...assuming your apache server is running as user www-data. This is the
Debian default, YMMV.
I'd try that first.
eg:
$ ls -ld /var/www
drwxr-xr-x 7 root www-data 1024 May 30 00:38 /var/www
^ ^ ^^^^^^^^
.../var/www is set group www-data and has read and execute permissions.
