[Zope] Zope and Apache+SSL, round 2

I am trying to set up Zope so that it is accessible via secure link 
_only_ through Apache.
Configuration:
Solaris 2.8 (SunOS <myhost> 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,UltraAX-i2)
Apache/2.0.36 with mod_ssl and (shared) mod_proxy, mod_rewrite.
Zope Version: Zope 2.5.1 (binary release, python 2.1, 
solaris-2.6-sparc), python 2.1.3, sunos5
Python Version: 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 15 2002, 12:32:48) [GCC 2.8.1]
Apache configuration (extract):

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
   <VirtualHost _default_:443>
   SSLEngine on
     <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
       ProxyRequests Off
       ProxyPass /Zope/ http://myhost:8080/
       ProxyPassReverse /Zope/ http://myhost:8080/
       ProxyPass /misc_ http://myhost:8080/misc_
       ProxyPass /p_ http://myhost:8080/p_
     </IfModule>
   </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Zope has a SiteRoot object added to the root folder with Base 
https://myhost/Zope and Path /.

Several issues:
1. In ZMI top frame gives Error 404 as it refers 
to      https://myhost/manage_page_style.css
2. In Control Panels link to Debug Information gives the same error 
for the same reason.
3. Link to Help! gives the same error as it tries to 
fetch 
https://myhost/Control_Panel/Products/OFSP/Help/<something>.stx
4. I cannot use "localhost" "127.0.0.1" instead of "myhost" as many 
"How-To"s suggest - somehow it refers to the machine I run browser 
on.

Can someone give me a clue, please?
