Issues with adding smart proxy

Support
1

I'm setting up my first smart proxy to begin provisioning systems, and
am having trouble adding the smart proxy to Foreman. When I attempt
to add the smart proxy with URL (hostname changed),
http://foremanproxy.domain.com:8443/features I get the following in
Foreman

··· ---------------------- 2 errors prohibited this smart proxy from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

Url did not respond to a request for its feature list.The reason given
was: 404 Resource Not Found.
Please check the proxy is configured and running on the host before
saving.

And this is in the production.log

If I go to the URL in a browser I see the feature page.

If I try using either of these URLs, http://foremanproxy.domain.com:8443/,
or http://foremanproxy.domain.com:8443, I get a 500 error and this in
my apache error_log

The proxy has the foreman-proxy service started, latest stable RPM.
iptables is off and the proxy server is listening on port 8443. This
is the uncommented lines of settings.yml

:daemon: true
:daemon_pid: /var/run/foreman-proxy/foreman-proxy.pid
:port: 8443

:tftproot: /var/lib/tftpboot

Let me know what other info may be useful.

Thanks

I think you have two versions of the json gem installed, double check,
as one of them seems to be installed incorrectly (e.g. 32bit version
on a 64bit ruby or the other way around).

That was it! I had installed json via the gem command and also had
rubygem-json installed via yum. I removed the gem of json and kept
the rpm version and now it works!
