Shalom Chaim,
Your problem is simply setting unix access permissions (I assum you run a unix
server, linux included, otherwise you wouldn't have written to this list ;-)).
What you need is just to make the directory searchable, not readable, by the
apache user (normally nobody or apache in redhat), so just run
chmod o=x directory_name
If you really need a .htaccess file, you have to make it universally
readbable, i.e.,
chmod o+r directory_name/.htaccess
BTW, read the apache error file, error_log: It should tell you about the
permissions problem.
Kol tuv
Zvi.
