As part of migrating the old jessie instance (T236553), I've created a new instance, configured it etc. The last step should have been removing the web proxy matching "phragile.wmflabs.org" wth the IP of the old instance (this part I've successfully performed) and adding the proxy to point "phragile.wmflabs.org" the the new instance.
When clicking "Create Proxy" in Horizon the error message saying "Danger: An error occurred. Please try again later." appears. Truing again later (over several hours) didn't work.
It looks the Horizon UI has problems as requesting https://horizon.wikimedia.org/project/proxy/create/results with HTTP 500, and the following response
