It should be 755 minimum to allow Apache to traverse it. The default ownership is for both user and group to be the vu entry for that site. Giving world no permissions also blocks Apache.

There is no .htaccess file in there. Should there have been? No other domain has htaccess either.

That's related to the permissions you set. Apache can't look into the directory for an htaccess file, so it gives that error.
