You may also want to look into putting a sticky bit on the directory which
would result in any files created to have group ownership of the parent
directory - this allows to have the owner of the files be anyone where the
group owner 'www-data' remaining constant and apache being able to access
them.
In addition to the below syntax you can use `chmod -R a=X-s,gu+rw,o+r
<directory>` - more good info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod. It
resets the sticky permissions first then makes directories 'r,w,x' for owner
and group and 'r,x' for others, and files get 'r,w' for owner and group and
'r' for others.
Then you can run chmod g+s <root project directory> to activate the sticky
bit.

Subject: Re: apache2 privileges
Hi John
My apache2 server on linux is running as www-data. My project is in a
standard user account. apache2 can't access files on the user account
unless I change the user on the user account directory to www-data.
Try this:
# chown -R john:www-data /your/project
# find /your/project -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \;
# find /your/project -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;
Now apache can read and write the project files while you are still the
owner.
If you want to be a bit more secure try permissions 640/750.
Hope that helps.
Andreas
