Description

sigh.

The work-around to get amahi-plex back running if it was not running is:

sudo chown -R apache:users /var/lib/plexmediaserver/
sudo systemctl start amahi-plex

History

#1 Updated by bigfoot65 about 7 years ago

This was his fix:
I ran the following to correct the problem:
Changed the users of my database, from plex:users to apache:users. It was half done. Most people will NOT have to do this.
Code:
sudo chown apache:users /var/lib/plexmediaserver/

Allowed the amahi-plex.service to start on boot:
Code:
sudo systemctl enable amahi-plex

Started the service:
Code:
sudo systemctl start amahi-plex

Get the status of the service.
Code:
sudo systemctl status amahi-plex

#2 Updated by dano5 about 7 years ago

here's the latest plexpass version if needed:

http://downloads.plexapp.com/plex-media-server/0.9.9.2.374-aa23a69/plexmediaserver-0.9.9.2.374-aa23a69.x86_64.rpm

thought it better to add it here instead of adding a new bug, let me know if I should file a new one instead.
