Simply by creating the files and directories.

It should be readable and executable by "other" users, and the files
should be readable by other users (the third set of rwx permissions).
The files should be owned by someone other than root or the apache user,
this stops them be writeable through the webserver.

e.g. drwxr-xr-x  tim  tim  /var/www/html/tim/
     -rw-r--r--  tim  tim  /var/www/html/tim/test.html

Also, SELinux contexts should be appropriately set.  Which they should
be, if you create or copy the files there.  But will not be if you make
them elsewhere, then move them there (they'd keep the default contexts
for the location that they were originally created in).

My directory and file SELinux contexts:
unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0

An alternative, found if I were serving files from a public_html
directory within my own homespace, would be:
unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_user_content_t:s0

You can use "ls -Z" to see the SELinux contexts.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
