Sorry, I cannot really help you with this as I've never had that problem.
However, I can give you "general troubleshooting advice": If you have a
problem, you try to think of possible causes for this problem: If you
can think of more than one, try to eliminate one by one to see if it
solves the problem. Duh... :-)

In your case, Apache cannot read the repository format.
Possible causes:
1) Apache
2) Repository format
:-)

Elimination strategies:
2) Create a new repository ONE THE MACHINE itself, in the svn_root
directory. This should eliminate most possible problems with the
repository. Considering the creation of a repository only takes 10
seconds, this is a good approach. If you still have the same problem,
try this:
1) Apache: Try to find out which exact version of mod_dav_svn is
installed. You can do that in several ways. I'd start with looking at
the "Server"-Header returned by Apache. It can look something like this:
Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.6 PHP/5.2.5 mod_python/3.3.1
Python/2.5 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
(you can do:
telnet localhost 80[Enter]
GET / HTTP/1.0[Enter][Enter]
to get the header).

If you can't get the header, look at the mods_available directory, find
the conf-file for subversion, look which *.so file is included and tell
us date and size of that file.

Good luck!

P.S.: I changed the subject line because this really isn't related to
SSL and not even to the previous questions...
