The apache user should not have anything to do with the directories containing the directories, except in a few really fringe use cases. It exists to provide privilege separation, that is it should lack permissions to write so that the web server cannot write to pages it is serving. It only needs read access, and that is most easily supplied through Other, leaving Group alone. If you are the only user on the system, then you can just take ownership yourself:
Code:
chown -R drillsar:drillsar /var/www/website/
find /var/www/website/ -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx {} \;
find /var/www/website/ -type f -exec chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r {} \;
