Should the owner be apache?  Group?

It's probably the SELinux labels preventing access - I stumbled across this
yesterday while setting up a local mirror to deploy 5.6.

Do an ls -lZ on the stuff in /var/www/html - it should look something like
this:

drwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t CentOS

You've probably got the wrong user and type on your files. Use chcon to
change them - from memory

chcon -R -u system_u -t httpd_sys_content_t

I hope that gets it for you.

Best,
