Typically the directory would be owned by apache and the authentication on it 
will be controlled by the apache htpasswd mechanism.  In your case you will 
need to set:

        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All

for each directory.  The ownership of the files is less important - they can 
be owned by any user/root/apache/etc... BUT the permissions on the directory 
must be such so that all can access (x) and read (r) what's in it.  I'm going 
from memory here, so you may need to try out things until you get it to work.
