Giving Apache permission on Joomla folder

I have a Joomla site that the files is owner by root:root. But this way I can’t update or install any plugins on Joomla. However when I set de folder’s site to the apache owner the site downs return ERROR 500.
How could I fix it?

I’ve tried set apache owner end set the permissions like below:

chown apache:apache /var/www/html/site

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/site

Ps.: The site was migrated from another server where the owner of the files is the apache.

    I found out the solution. Was just the permissions on files the problem. I don't know why, but when I moved the files of site to another server the folders change the permissions 755 to 655. Changed this permissions everything cames back to normal.

    Thanks again!

    Simply run apachectl -S as root or sudo (sudo apachectl -S) and look at the lines which tell User and Group owner.

    Other solution, typing the command ps faux will tell you what you need at first column the owner of the process you want to know about.

    Also, htop command could help you as same as before if it is installed.

    EDIT :

    you can also specify -R to do recursive with chown command
