The setup you are trying to get is extremely common, so we should be able to
nail this.

Your dav_svn.conf looks fine.  You've got Subversion enabled, some details
that describe where your repositories can be found, and your auth bits.

It's http.conf that's the problem.  ViewVC doesn't need any of Subversion's
configuration directives, so try it without them, like this:

   ScriptAlias /viewvc "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/"
   Alias /docroot  "/etc/viewvc/templates/docroot"
   <Location /viewvc>
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Subversion Repository"
      AuthBasicProvider ldap
      AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
      AuthLDAPBindDN "o=bindme"
      AuthLDAPURL  ldap://x.x.x.x:389/ STARTTLS
      Require valid-user
   </Location>
