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.
