Yes, it is not permissions. Here is the exact error message:

~~~
bind() to unix:/run/user/1001/nginx-webdav.socket failed (98: Address already in use)
~~~

I think this behaviour is normal, as the socket is already created by systemd socket file.
My question would be something like “is there a way to share the socket between systemd and nginx” ?

Since systemd let me run a service when a socket is accessed, I thought that there would be an nginx option to listen on an already existing socket.
