I went to update to the latest WSE on my EC2 instance. It apparently created a new copy running in a separate folder. Frustratingly, both seem to be operating and responding to commands to record content. I’d like to disable the new one and just run the old one because it has a custom module working on it that I need. Need help quick if anyone can.
