Have you considered offering *only* HTTPS?

At least for my purposes noone would need to enter the complete URL to
Sympa's web interface into a web browser (probably without also typing
"https://"; at the start and thereby ending up on the plain HTTP port,
as long as webbrowsers don't try HTTPS first) -- instead they would
only follow links from elsewhere.
So there'd be no reason to even listen on plain HTTP.

Well, error messages are there to also inform you of the kind of
error that happened, not just of the fact that any (unspecified) error
has occured.
Did you try searching for the exact error message on the web?
Did you try 'apachectl -t' (or 'apache2ctl -t') to test your config?

I'd start with from the documentation of the software involved:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

But of course that depends on how the rest of your server config looks
like, esp. wrt plain HTTP vs. HTTPS vhosts.
