Looks like this is an HTTP error; so is it possible that my IPA thinks
it has a CA but there's no CMS available?
Apache proxies requests to the CA so there could be a mismatch I
suppose. I'd ensure that the pki processes are running on the box for
starters and then dig into the CA debug log for more details.
Is that /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug? If so, then nothing happens in it during the above operations.

As you noted, apache produces the following when trying to show a valid cert even though there's nothing in what I think is the pki ca debug log. ps aux shows pki processes alive, at least, and in ownership of the 8009 port (verified by lsof).

I'm definitely not a web kind of guy so I'm not sure if this is
helpful or not. This is on 4.4.0, API Version 2.213.

Good news. One of my servers _does_ have CA installed. So why does
"Action -> New Certificate" not do anything on this or any other server?

I recently had to upgrade all my Fedora IPA servers to C7. It went
well, and we've been up and running nicely on 4.4.0 on C7 for the
past month or so.

Today, someone came and asked me to generate a new certificate for
their web server. All was good until I went to the IPA UI and tried
to perform Actions->New Certificate, which did nothing. I tried each
of our 3 servers in turn. All came back with no popup window and no
error, either.

I suspect the problem might be that we no longer have a CA server
due to the method I used to upgrade the servers. I likely missed a
"--setup-ca" in there somewhere, so my rolling update rolled over
the CA.

What's my best hope of recovery? I never ran this before, so I'm not
sure if this shows that I'm missing a CA or not:
