My impression is that it should have worked if you had everything set
to 777. The fact that it didn't work suggests that maybe some part of
the repository wasn't 777.

The correct way to set up a repository with Apache is to have it
owned by the user under which Apache runs, and to set the permissions
so that only that user can read/write (700 permissions on
directories, 600 on files).
