The group owner can still be www, as usual. But you also need to make sure that 'others' can read the files, so the directory's permission has to be 755 minimum, and the files 644. > Who owns what? Can't Apache serve from whoever owns htdocs? Depends on the permission bits, the Apache process owner (wwwrun) has to be able to read the files and, in case of e.g. PHP, to execute.
