The directories have to have to be both readable and searchable by the user or group Apache is running as. (Usually user or group apache.) If they are not owned by ether user or group apache, then they will need to be world readable/searchable. The files only need to be readable. This applies not only to the directories the files are in, but the directory tree back to the root directory.
