[App_rpt-users] Asterisk unable to start

Tue Aug 20 12:12:22 UTC 2019

Thank you for that insight. But I do need guidance as to how to downgrade. I really don’t know how to that. 
This is a concern. The open VPN install script must be the culprit. I don’t understand how it happened as it was working after I installed it and rebooted. 
I will have to study the script.
