500 error; deactivated Jetpack, and now a Jetpack authorization error

    I needed to refresh my LinkedIn connection for Publicize so I tried to do this and got a 500 error: “500 status code for “POST /sites/51513175/publicize-connections/new”. I looked up this forum and read a thread that said to deactivate Jetpack and other plugins, then reactivate. I deactivated Jetpack and wondered what would happen if I just reactivated it without deactivating other plugins. So I reactivated Jetpack but I can’t finish setting it up because I’m getting an authorization error: “Error authorizing. Page is refreshing for another attempt”. The authorization is not able to occur.

    PS My host is A2. The only thing I can think of that might be relevant is that they had to migrate my server recently.

    Bizarrely, it is now working again. I was about to deactivate Jetpack and reactivate it again, but decided to re-visit the Jetpack dashboard page instead and I noticed that Jetpack is now connected and all my social media accounts are linked in the Sharing section too. So weird.
