Error after update to 5.12.17-L174

you mean to install the prior version over .17 on the existing VM?

I did just find this article:

which appears to match my problem.

is Redis now a required component of the installation or will this be addressed in a future update?

should I try installing the prior version and copying over the storage directory and .env file?

if there is a post with the process you are suggesting I try, please point me to it

Thanks -
