drwxr--r-- 10 root root 8192 Mar 2 15:35 Webserver/ and all its contents.
I undestand this to mean that the owner, owner's group and others have read access.
Experimentatation shows tis not to be the case - I logged on as apache and another user and did not have read access.
Does this mean that the second and third "r"s are spurious in the case of vfat ?
If so, this clears up a mystery for me and makes sense of what people have said : that vfat only knows about its owner, nothing else, hence only the owner, hence creator, can even read it. Correct ?
thanks to you all for your patience

Do an ls -l on the mounted partition to make sure that the permissions on the
files are OK.
Check /etc/apache/httpd.conf to make sure thay Apache runs as uid72 when it accesses things.
It'll have lines like User www-data Group www-data
