Status
Reported to EngineeringAdditional Information
When ipsmd auto-restarts or when manually restarted with the rcnovell-ipsmd restart command, ipsmd loads fine, with no errors in the ipsmd.log file, but the communication with Apache is not restored. This results in the /ipp and /PmsStatus pages returning the 502 error, print jobs not being accepted accepted, and the "status" attribute on the Print Manager eDir object is not getting updated.
