The mod_proxy configuration is not compatible with current AMS

[rbotha78]

The generated vhost files for author and publisher includes a block that's using a directive (SSLProxyEngine) not available in Apache 2.4.6 that's deployed on standard AMS.

AH00526: Syntax error on line 66 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/enabled_vhosts/aem_author.vhost:
Invalid command 'SSLProxyEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

This directive appears to only be available in Apache 2.4.30+

Furthermore, the proxy directory missing if the commerce module is not enabled, resulting in a startup failure.

and if the directory is created, startup still fails due to the use of Include instead of IncludeOptional

so probably only the type of the "include" will need to be changed as a quick win? :)

I don't know how ugly this could be, but we could work around with something like

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
   <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
          SSLProxyEngine on
   </IfModule>
   IncludeOptional /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy/*.proxy
</IfModule>

sure @EsteBustamante but the key thing here to have it working after generating a project from archetype. not to be forced to do one extra step after ;)
