Unable to start octopus service

Hello everyone,

We have been using old octopus version 3.17.13 since lat 5 years . Recently we tried to move the octopus server to new VM.

So, we followed below steps :
• Backup octopus database
• Restore database to new sql server (azure vm)
• Install octopus version 3.17.13 in the same server .
• But after adding the octopus server instance it is giving error once trying to start the service.
