Write access on Apache WebDAV server

I have set up a WebDAV server running Arch Linux 3.19.3 and Apache 2.4, according to the Arch Wiki [1] [2] and the Apache Documentation [3].

The only changes I made to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
LoadModule dav_lock_module modules/mod_dav_lock.so

DAVLockDB /home/httpd/dav/DAVLock

Alias /dav "/srv/http/dav"
<Directory "/srv/http/dav">
    DAV On
    AllowOverride None
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName name
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd
    Require user name
    Order allow,deny
    allow 
</Directory>

Related folders and their owners and permissions

drwxr-xr-x root root /srv
drwxrwxr-x http http /srv/http
drwxrwxr-x http http /srv/http/dav

As I’m editing this I realize the following is where the problem is.

drw-rw-r-x http http /home/httpd

The permissions should in stead be

drwxrwxr-x http http /home/httpd

since you can’t access the contents of a folder without being able to execute (open) it.

I’m leaving the thread for the afterlife. Hopefully someone will find it useful.
