Just so we break this down into its constituent parts, the SVN stuff doesn't
really factor into the issue we're trying to solve, right?

And what precisely do you mean by "OpenBD cannot use SSL?" What exactly is
the behavior you're seeing?

You'll have to elaborate on what exactly you mean by "point it to," both
what "it" is and how you're pointing it.

I think we're getting further off in the weeds here. ;-) Typically on
Windows httpd-vhosts.conf is where you have to put your vhosts based on how
the Apache config is set up, so it's not surprising this didn't work when
you had it in the main httpd.conf file.

OK--I think we may be getting somewhere. You can have aliases on Tomcat as
well, so if the host name on the Apache side and the Tomcat side aren't the
same you have to account for Tomcat knowing the host name that's hitting it.

Since I don't deal with SSL much I'm going out on a limb here, but wouldn't
the SSL piece be entirely at the Apache level? Particularly if you have
Tomcat and Apache on the same physical box, you don't really need SSL
communication between Apache and Tomcat, so it seems like this is probably
entirely an Apache configuration issue. But elaborate on what you mean by
things like "can't use SSL" and that'll help us dig into this further.
