Not sure if the paste of your configuration is complete.

From what I can see there it seems like you have the document root only in your configuration for port 80 and a redirect in your HTTPS configuration (which makes no sense).

So I would recommend the following procedure for enabling HTTPS.

  1. Revert your configuration, so that HTTP works perfectly.
  2. Copy your HTTP config over to the HTTPS config (plus required mod_ssl config)
  3. Make sure HTTPS is working correctly
  4. Create a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

For a correct HTTP->HTTPS redirect and HTTPS configuration check the Mozilla SSL configuration generator. For example the redirect:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

Finally this doesn’t really sound like you have an ownCloud specific problem with the setup. So perhaps it would be better for you to contact a general tech help or apache web server configuration forum.
