I am having trouble with getting proxypass to work in apache.

My configuration file is as follows:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>

ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.org
ServerAdmin info@example.org
DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/knyz.org/public_html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/admin/web/knyz.org/cgi-bin/
Alias /vstats/ /home/admin/web/knyz.org/stats/
Alias /error/ /home/admin/web/knyz.org/document_errors/
#SuexecUserGroup admin admin
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domains/knyz.org.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domains/knyz.org.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domains/knyz.org.error.log
&lt;Directory /home/admin/web/knyz.org/public_html&gt;
    AllowOverride All
    SSLRequireSSL
    Options +Includes -Indexes +ExecCGI
&lt;/Directory&gt;
&lt;Directory /home/admin/web/knyz.org/stats&gt;
    AllowOverride All
&lt;/Directory&gt;
SSLEngine on
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLCertificateFile /home/admin/conf/web/ssl.knyz.org.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/admin/conf/web/ssl.knyz.org.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /home/admin/conf/web/ssl.knyz.org.ca
&lt;IfModule mod_ruid2.c&gt;
    RMode config
    RUidGid admin admin
    RGroups www-data
&lt;/IfModule&gt;
&lt;IfModule itk.c&gt;
    AssignUserID admin admin
&lt;/IfModule&gt;

IncludeOptional /home/admin/conf/web/sapache2.knyz.org.conf*

##ISSUE IS HERE!!!
&lt;Location /admin&gt;
    ProxyPass https://localhost:8083
    ProxyPassReverse https://localhost:8083
&lt;/Location&gt;



</VirtualHost>

Desired result: The page from localhost on port 8083 will be shown when accessing the /admin subdirectory.

Actual result: Error 500

The issue seems to be the same as here: Apache ProxyPass with SSL

Except the solution does not work for me.

When attempting to do so, I get the following error while restarting apache:

SSLProxyEngine not allowed here

From error logs (concerning error 500):

[Sun Dec 13 21:33:31.062959 2015] [ssl:error] [pid 1181] [remote 127.0.0.1:8083] AH01961: SSL Proxy requested for example.org:443 but not enabled [Hint: SSLProxyEngine]
[Sun Dec 13 21:33:31.063033 2015] [proxy:error] [pid 1181] AH00961: HTTPS: failed to enable ssl support for 127.0.0.1:8083 (localhost)

How can I fix this issue?

Update

I replaced the location block with the following

ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyPass /blog http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog
  ProxyPassReverse /blog http://127.0.0.1:2368/blog
  ProxyPass /admin https://127.0.0.1:8083
  ProxyPassReverse /admin https://127.0.0.1:8083

And now /blog works properly but /admin DOES NOT. This means that the issue is definitely with the SSL.

From what I can tell ProxyPass isn't meant to be used inside of a block - you have it in a <Location> block. It needs to be out of that block, and you need to turn SSLProxyEngine on as well:

    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPass /admin https://localhost:8083/
    ProxyPassReverse /admin https://localhost:8083/
