Problems with media files in Apache

I attended a meeting the other day where I had shot some videos I have
been asked to share.
Some of my colleagues asked for me for video files (.avi and .wmv) and
others asked for .wav.

I set up a subdirectory off a known good site, and uploaded the files
to the server.
After doing this, I received the following error:


------------------------------------------------------------ -------
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /media/20071010.wav on this
server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument
to handle the request.

------------------------------------------------------------ -------

So, thinking it was a standard permissions issue, I tried changing the
permissions around, and
finally did a chmod 777 - all with no success. I've even tried to
chown the files to apache.

In all, I'm getting the same error as I started with, so since I don't
see the answer in any of
my documentation, I'm coming here to see if anyone knows what is most
likely the issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bob Wiley

Generally 644 will do for files.
Check the folder 'media' to have 755.

Thank you for the reply. I did a chmod 755, and the error is still
the same. This is frustrating. Thanks for the effort though...
