[Zope] Zope and Apache+SSL

I am trying to set up Zope so that it is accessible via secure link 
through Apache.
Configuration:
Solaris 2.8
Apache-2.0 with mod_ssl and mod_proxy shared
Zope 2.5

Apache lives in /usr/local/apache2 and has the following in its 
configuration:
     <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
       ProxyRequests On
       ProxyPass /Zope/ http://myhost:8080/
       ProxyPassReverse /Zope/ http://myhost:8080/
       ProxyPass /misc_ http://myhost:8080/misc_
       ProxyPass /p_ http://myhost:8080/p_
     </IfModule>

Zope lives in /usr/local/Zope.

If I just use it like this, all forms are insecure, so I added a 
SiteRoot object to a root folder with Base https://myhost/Zope and 
Path /
Now everything is secure, but the top frame of the management 
interface returns Object not found! error (404), and apache error_log 
shows that it tried to access https://myhost/manage_page_style.css
If I try to go to https://myhost/Zope/manage_zmi_prefs and change 
there "Use Style Sheets" to "No", it is accepted, but going to 
https://myhost/Zope/manage still gives me the same error, even if I 
try to restart Zope.

Anybody can help me with that?  Pretty please?  With sugar on top ;-)
