That is certainly adequate for the Apache webserver *provided* that the 'group ownership' of the file is correct. FYI under Mac OS X Server, the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file specifies that Apache runs as User 'www' and Group 'www'. So, the permissions -rw-r----- would be entirely adequate *if* the file's group is 'www'. To make this ownership persistent, change the enclosing folder's group to 'www', too. If that doesn't work on its own, try `chmod g+s foldername` as per my previous advice. Most of this can be done either via the command line or via the Finder's Get Info.
