If it is that, it is only missing execute permission on the top Koha dir,
or a dir above it.

You absolutely do not want to chmod -R and set execute permission on all
files.  (That may be how an executable htaccess file snuck into Koha
master development version at one point.)

Just chmod ugo+x path/to/koha/top should work.  If it's really all dirs,
then: find path/to/koha/top -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod ugo+x
should fix it I think.

Hope that helps,
