WAPI is not defined

Description

anytime i restart the server ( using CTRL+C and start it again ) or ( using pm2 restart ) or ( restarting whole server/VPS ) old session aren't working again, and no way to start them, only way to bypass it is by creating new session and giving up on old ones which breaks the system because have to scan qrcode over and over and over agian.
