Since I downgraded to 6.2.4 I cant get some of the packages to work or install. I get a vapid send server error of boot up. Any suggestions
After downgrade I also have same ‘vapid send server error’ issue.
Did you solve the problem?
Yes, but it took a full backup and restore. I formatted the 2 HD and started over. I later bought a new server that could handle 7.
