It needs to be read/write/executable to whatever user apache runs as. Ideally that would mean putting apache and the owner of the files in the same group and then setting permissions to 0775 instead, but on most shared hosts you can't actually do that so you have to use 777.
755 works for me one two different shared hosts actually. I have no info about groups--just the ability to set permissions on the dir.
