Your server tells you exactly what you need    Hint  SSLProxyEngine   You need to add that directive to your VirtualHost before the Proxy directives    SSLProxyEngine on ProxyPass  primary store https   localhost 9763 store  ProxyPassReverse  primary store https   localhost 9763 store    See the doc for more detail
