Wondering whether this is an issue;
I had an engine where i created a backup and stored elsewhere. This engine was reinstalled and the backup file (called file_name) used to restore below. However i get 2 different errors based on whether engine is on....

In addition, possibly related, the web page for the server will no longer launch even when ovirt-engine and httpd services are running while.
Any troubleshooting tips or has anyone seen same before?
