Alerta init process complete; ready for start up.

If I try to curl the api endpoint:

$ curl localhost:8080/api
Internal Server Error

Nothing in the logs…

Here are my config files:

$ cat /app/alerta.conf
[DEFAULT]
endpoint = http://localhost:8080/api
key = -sDbuP8C7vFU_O45zGpa_n2SWkOXITZeDvbeeBhH
debug = yes

$ cat app/alertad.conf
DEBUG = True
SECRET = '^Bpa%i8_nCAc8fI4l9)nhn2EG2!@GJga'
AUTH_REQUIRED = True
CUSTOMER_VIEWS = False
AUTH_PROVIDER='ldap'

ADMIN_USERS = ['osterman01', 'carlsson04']

LDAP_URL = 'ldaps://**********' //Hiding due to security..

LDAP_DEFAULT_DOMAIN = '*****'

LDAP_CACERT = '/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/alerta/auth/cert.pem'

LDAP_DOMAINS = {
    '***l'
}

LDAP_DOMAINS_SEARCH_DN = {
        '***'
}

LDAP_DOMAINS_SEARCH_FILTER = {
        '***'
}

ALLOWED_ENVIRONMENTS = [
    'Infra','CRM','ERP','CIC','Revenue', 'Cloud', 'OpenShift'
]

COLUMNS = ['severity', 'status', 'lastReceiveTime', 'duplicateCount',
        'service', 'resource', 'text' ]

I had to hide some information in the config since this is public. But all my configs worked fine in 8.5.0.
