Apache installation - file owner & permissions?

[1337]

I have Apache installed and it runs under the user www-data and the group www-data.
This is a Debian install so html files are by default located under /var/www/html and that is also the document root in Apache.

I was wondering what permission and owner should files like html, php etc have?

Also where should php include files be located? Somewhere under the document root (for example /var/www/html/include or outside (like /var/www/include/) or somewhere else?

Normally the structure is...

/var/www/html/site-name/include/

Normally you just do...

chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html
