[Paraview] Paraview Web with SSL

I tried to run the launcher as described in the docs. But I am still 
getting errors when running http://localhost/apps/Visualizer/

Firefox console:

-------------------------------

1. when setting sessionManagerURL in html set to 
vtkWeb.properties.sessionManagerURL:

POST
XHR
http://localhost/paraview/ [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 48ms]
Object { error: "The process did not properly start.…" } Visualizer:42:13


2. when setting sessionManagerURL in html to http://localhost:8080/paraview:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost/ws. 
autobahn.min.js:114:0
null Visualizer:42:13
No launcher found.  Attempting to connect using the direct WS url. 
vtkweb-all.js:4456:19
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated.  Use defaultPrevented instead. 
jquery-1.8.3.min.js:2:0
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading 
the remote resource at http://localhost:8080/paraview. (Reason: CORS 
header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing). <unknown>
GET
http://localhost/ws [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 12ms]
null


So the launcher can't start the pv webserver? But running 
http://localhost:8080/paraview/1 in browser works but says: {"error": 
"No session with id: 1"}


My apache config:

-----------------------------

<VirtualHost *:80>

my launcher.json

  "configuration": {
             "host" : "localhost",

             "port" : 8080,
             "endpoint": "paraview",
             "content": "/.../www",
             "proxy_file" : "/home/daniel/proxy.txt",
                "sessionURL": "ws://localhost/proxy?sessionId=${id}",

             "timeout" : 25,
             "log_dir" : "/home/daniel",
             "upload_dir" : "/home/daniel",
             "fields" : ["file", "host", "port", "updir"]
         },


What am I doing wrong?
