Read the man pages, start with chmod.
Search the web.

It could be a) a file permission problem, as you assume, or b) you have
Apache configured so that it forbids you access to the file.
Assuming that you run httpd as nobody, you can find out if it is a
permission problem:
- login as root
- execute 'su - nobody' to become nobody.
- try to read the file, e.g. with 'cat /var/www/wp/<name of file>'
If that gives you an error, you do not have the necessary permissions.
If that works fine, you probably have a problem in your Apache
configuration.
- Do other pages work well?
- Maybe turn on debugging and see access.log and error.log for
messages.
