  It depends on what your configuration does.  If it worked before and now doesn't work, what changed?

  The v3.0.16 on the server is exactly the same source that would be installed from anywhere else.w

  Use 3.0.17, as it has some issues fixed.  And, describe what you're doing.  Normal configurations don't run into this, so you're doing something unusual.
