There's no specific ownership needed as long as they are readable by the
webserver. All webservers are packaged to run as www-data on Debian iirc.

I assume the missing 's' is a typo.

Can you provide ls -l and also the webserver configs pertaining to this?

Incidentally, /srv is a better place for files to be served. /var/www is the
distribution default because the filesystem hierarchy standard reserves /srv
for you to organise how you want and prohibits distributions using /srv.
