Client denied by server configuration error

Client denied by server configuration error in Apache.

Just in case if somebody else has a similar problem and can't get the Apache server working as expected.
I have tried to setup proxy_mod under apache to forward HTTP traffic from AJAX Jabber client to the Bosh component running on Tigase server. It was working fine for a long time on my Gentoo server. I have recently wanted to run more tests on a separate machine and had this problem. It was a system based on the Debian distribution and the proxy_mod didn't want to work at all displaying the error message in a log file:
[error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: proxy:http://127.0.0.1:5280/xmpp/
, referer: http://localhost/F5A379CEC35AEBCC5FFA11BA8A33CD02.cache.html
All you need to do is to modify proxy.conf file for your Apache2 installation and setup proper permissions. By default the proxy is disabled for all. In my case I had to enable it just for a localhost.
Example configuration from my vim mods-enabled/proxy.conf file:

  ProxyRequests Off
  
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost
  
  ProxyVia On

Can't use proxy because no authentication schemes are fully configured.
