Description

After upgrade to 5.0.8 several host in UK stopped publishing.

https://psmad.opensciencegrid.org/maddash-webui/index.cgi?dashboard=UK%20Mesh%20Config

That includes Jisc Slough, which is running on Alma 9. Actuaslly all UK hosts on Alma 9 in the UK stopped publishing.

I've just noticed that restarting httpd fixes the problem.

The file attached shows the error, and status after restart.

PS: I notice that the docs on starting/stopping services leave important services like httpd and postgresql, see

Research direction

Reproduce the upgrade to 5.0.8 on an Alma 9 host, starting with the attached error and status output and the observed difference before and after restarting httpd. Determine what breaks publishing for the UK hosts and verify that publishing remains functional after the upgrade without a manual restart; review the linked service-starting documentation if its omissions are part of the fix.
