Dokuwiki permission issues

I've set up a dokuwiki webserver using nginx according to the steps described in the Arch wiki.

Although I cannot complete the installation via install.php:

{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/conf/ is not writable by DokuWiki. You need to fix the permission settings of this directory! 

While /conf is a symlink to /etc/webapps/dokuwiki and http user has read/write permissions to the latter by default.

The same issue was mentioned in this thread, the solution unclear, though.

Update:

Visiting https://my_server/doku.php?do=check reveals two errors:

Writing /usr/share/webapps/dokuwiki/conf/plugins.local.php failed

and

conf directory is not writable

Although the http user is able to write to this directory:

sudo -u http touch /usr/share/webapps/dokuwiki/conf/plugins.local.php

Any ideas on this?

Update:

Moving dokuwiki's root to /srv/http/ solved the issue for now. Although, the cause of the above error remains unclear to me.
