+== The Issue ==
+...well, it isn't necessarily an issue, but it could be.
+Setting 'generic' correct permissions for Apache
+== Background ==
+I was experimenting with several CMS (Content Management Systems) for web sites and had minor issues here and there getting things to work properly.  Sometimes it was PHP or a typo, but most frequently it related to file permissions.
+== The Solution ==
+In short the ownership of Files for Apache should be set to apache:apache (this is for CentOS 7, for other Linux versions please use the name and group that your web service runs under).
+ chown -R apache:apache WhatEverDirectoryName
+Files should have permissions set to 644
+ find WhatEverFolderName -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
+Directories should have permissions set to 755
+ find WhatEverFolderName -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
