There are two configurations of interest here:

- Apache HTTP Server's configuration to tell Apache to invoke ViewVC to
handle requests to a particular set of URLs.  This is what lives in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ on your system.

- ViewVC's configuration, to tell ViewVC how to do its thang when it's
invoked.  This should *not* be in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ on your system.

The error you are seeing is caused by Apache trying to read ViewVC
configuration directives (which are INI-style with sections and name=value
option lines) as if they were Apache configuration directives (which aren't).

CollabNet Subversion Server ships with a working ViewVC instance, so I'm not
sure why you felt you needed to configure things for yourself.  If you have
further questions about CollabNet Subversion Server, though, you might want
to take them over to the forums at subversion.open.collab.net[1].
