What user/group are you running httpd as? Is that user a member of
nogroup? Can that user read the file?
"www"

But the Apache rejects my password. I tried it several times,

Did you look at the error_log?
Yes - it didn't give me any meaningful information - but I did manage to

there are wrong
permissions, the system is never going to let me know.
