Listen delete those two keys as a last resort .
Those two files should stay with the current database version and if they are deleted and while they are regenerated any passwords that are used in globals will have to be re-entered.
This isn’t true for login passwords. That uses a different encryption. So I just want to warn everybody to use the delete method sparingly.
You were running step 2 right at the initial setup ?
Could you please tell me your OS and type of server (AWS EC2 perhaps?). I have just installed a server from scratch on EC2, Ubuntu 22.
