Description

While setting up a proxy within Apache24 I kept getting an error every time I tried to access the site served from the server. In the case of Apache 2.4 and up, there are different defaults and a new directive.

I had to add the following directives to get it working:

SSLProxyEngine on
SSLProxyVerify none 
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off

NOTE: This problem was only noticeable after I moved the website served from to a new server with a different host name than what was on the SSL certificate. The above directives disables the host name checking.
