Hi Glenn,
Yes it was a symlink into my home directory. Your override made things work
again, thanks.
However, it would have been easier for users to figure this out on their own,
if there was better error reporting about the problem. I could not see anything
in my system logs even after enabling debug logging for lighttpd.
Best,
Ximin

Dear Maintainer,
PUT on a webdav share gives HTTP 500 since 1.4.79-1.
I have rebuilt 1.4.77-1 from source and verified the problem does not exist
there.
lighttpd 1.4.79 added hardening to systemd lighttpd.service.
https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/src/branch/master/doc/systemd/lighttpd.service
One of the changes in lighttpd.service adds
ProtectHome=read-only
To where are you trying to PUT files using lighttpd mod_webdav?
Is it to someplace underneath a home directory?
If so, you may install lighttpd-mod-webdav with lighttpd 1.4.79
and create a systemd override to the lighttpd.service.
To create an override, `systemctl edit lighttpd` and edit
/etc/systemd/system/lighttpd.service.d/override.conf to add
ProtectHome=no
If the above does not solve your issue, please try overriding the
systemd hardening additions (or comment them out in
/usr/lib/systemd/system/lighttpd.service and `systemcl daemon-reload`)
one by one to identify the ones which affect your config. Then, please
post the results in your lighttpd.conf (with private information xxxx-d
out) `lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -p`
Cheers, Glenn
