Research direction

Open the Apache configuration example at https://solidproject.org//self-hosting/nss/apache and compare the documented directive with Apache's reported unknown option. Replace the incorrect SSLProxyPeerName setting with SSLProxyCheckPeerName, then verify that the example no longer causes the reported httpd startup error.
