Web UI Locations menu access fails after Foreman Katello installation

Problem:

After successfully running the foreman-installer the Web UI displays an error when trying to access the Administer->Locations menu.

Am I missing some steps (e.g plugins installation) ?

The installation was performed using the following command:

foreman-installer --scenario katello \ 
--foreman-initial-organization "myorganization" --foreman-initial-location "mylocation" \
--foreman-initial-admin-username admin --foreman-initial-admin-password secretpassword

Expected outcome:

The Web UI displays a page without any errors.

Foreman and Proxy versions:

Foreman version: 3.13
Katello version: 4.15

Distribution and version:

OS: Alma9

It seems that restarting foreman solved all the errors I was getting when trying to access some menus:

foreman-maintain service restart
