Apache 2.0.40, RH9 and permision denied to some files

Hello all!

I am rebuilding my server using Red Hat 9 linux
and now, among other services, it is running httpd 2.0.40.
I have configured two virtual hosts, ie.
www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com, for which
the paths in <VirtualHost> directive are:
/home/www/mydomain1, /home/www/mydomain1, respectively.
'mydomain1' files are owned by user in whose context
the httpd daemon is running, and 'mydomain2' are owned
by other user, but the permissions are set for any
file or subdirectory at least 'other/read' and
the root directory of virtual host has permission
'others/execute'. However, some files, or the majority
of them in the directory for 'mydomain2' are unreadable
due to 'permission denied' error, recorded in httpd error
log and presented as http 403 error in the web browser.
To emphasize, only _some_ files are unreadable and some are not.
All the files were uploaded via ftp by the same user and
have identical permissions.
I hope I described the problem clearly.

What could be the reason for such behaviour?

TIA

Other than a bug in the version of Apache on RH9 none.
I'd try to install a different version of Apache.
