I have a foreman server that was running foreman 3.11.1 and Katello 4.13. I also have 2 proxy servers for content. I upgraded all 3 of them fine (in steps) to 3.16 and 4.18. Then I tried the upgrade to 3.17 and katello 4.19 and things started going bad on the proxies. The foreman server seems to be fully upgraded to foreman 3.17 with katello 4.19 just fine.
In the webgui I see a red X for status and version of the proxies. I get errors when I click on the proxy hostname in the webgui….**
Since the foreman server was fine I followed the directions to create a new proxy and created the certs. I pushed the new certs to the proxies and ran the foreman-installer command it tells you to. On one proxy the installer command ran just fine. On the other one I get errors:**

Please address the errors and re-run the installer to ensure the system is properly configured.
Failing to do so is likely to result in broken functionality.The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/foreman-proxy-content.log
In the webgui both are still showing the same red X and I am still getting errors when I click on the proxy host names.
