Thank you for the suggestions, I've been able to have the setup running.
I abandoned the horrible WebDAV in favour of Smart HTTP, and it's been
quite straightforward to configure and run successfully.

There is some documentation on setting up DAV here:

Some of its config directives are inexistent in modern Apaches.
