Apache works on http and https, SVN only on http

Question

I asked a question about this before, and got most of it fixed. If I switch off https redirect and go to http://mydomain.com/svn/test0, I get the authentication window popping up, and I can enter my AD credentials, and bingo. Switching https redirect back on, if I go to http://mydomain.com I am automatically redirected to https, which is what I want, and the 'CerntOS test page' pops up. Perfect.

The problem occurs when I want to go to one of my test repos via https. Here is my httpd.conf file, with confidential information suitably hosed...

NameVirtualHost *:80

        Redirect permanent / https://svn.mycompany.com

Now, in ssl_error_log, I get

===

==> /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_error_log <==
[Fri Nov 01 16:07:55 2013] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] File does not exist: /var/www/html/svn

===

This comes from the DocumentRoot directive further up the httpd.conf file, which of course points to /var/www/html. I know that this location is wrong, but how can I get SVN to serve the repo?

I tried an Alias directive as so ..

Alias /svn /usr/local/subversion

.. but this didn't work. I tried to alter the Location directive. That didn't work either.

Can someone help? I sense that this is so close to being solved ...

Thanks.

Edit: apachectl -S output:

[root@svn conf]# apachectl -S
VirtualHost configuration:
127.0.0.1:443 svn.mycompany.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1020) 
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and default servers:
default:443 svn.mycompany.com (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:74)
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server svn.mycompany.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1012)
port 80 namevhost svn.mycompany.com (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:1012)
Syntax OK

Answer 1

I suppose Alias should work, but you also have to setup <Directory "/usr/local/subversion"> properly.

Answer 2

Change <VirtualHost svn.mycompany.com:443> to <VirtualHost *:443>.

You have svn.mycompany.com resolving to 127.0.0.1 which is causing that bind to do nothing, and causing the _default_:443 bind in ssl.conf to get the requests (service up the default test page).
