At first, show your full httpd.conf file and see what's logged to Apache log. I guess that you'll understand the root cause by looking through the log.

Next, if you have troubles setting up SVN+Apache server on Windows yourself, search the web for prepackaged all-in-one solutions. E.g. google "svn server windows". Otherwise, check the official binary packages page.

Update:

The most interesting part of the logged error is:

E160043: Expected FS format between '1' and '6'; found format '7'

The error means that you have Subversion 1.8 installed as your server. However, the repository was created using Subversion 1.9 tools and has newer format. You should make sure that your server is on the most current version 1.9 or create the repository using 1.8 tools. There is another option that may help you: create the repository using svnadmin create REPOSITORY --compatible-version 1.8 command.

The fact that when you run svn --version you see version 1.9.1 (r1698128) just means that your command-line client has version 1.9.1. This is irrelevant to the server side.
