You still have an old server running. If you can't find the process and kill it, try restarting the machine.

@rick-github Thanks. Killing the process solved the issue. I thought it will be killed automatically after installing latest version...

This problem persists on Linuxmint 22.2 . followed all instructions here and on Ollama. Multiple remove / uninstall / reboot / reinstall do not resolve the issue. ollama -v returns: ollama version is 0.12.11
Warning: client version is 0.16.1
