Plex Media Server - Setup Questions after Cache Drive Failed

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

My cache drive crashed and I therefore lost plex, sabnzbd, sickbeard, and couch potato.  I would first like to get Plex going again and am unsure what to do.  I have already installed precleared a new cache drive, added it to the array, started the array, formatted the new cache drive, and rebooted the server.  The server reboot reinstalled sabnzbd, sickbeard, and couch potato and now i just have to set them up.  However, I have no idea what to do for plex.  Looking for help.

 

On the settings tab it says plex media server is enabled but the status is stopped.

Do I have a permissions issue?  I've exhausted everything i've found so far.

 

root@TowerRPM:/mnt/cache# ls -la

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 5 nobody users 104 2013-08-12 22:39 ./

drwxr-xr-x 9 root  root    0 2013-08-14 20:39 ../

drwx------ 6 nobody users 160 2013-08-12 22:48 apps/

In case anyone ever has this issue ... it is now solved and was related to permissions and owners of the apps folder.

 

My cache had the owner as root and also did not have the correct read write access.  Owner of apps should be nobody and mine was set up with root as owner.

 

The following two comands resolved the issues:

 

chmod 777 -R /mnt/cache/apps  to get the read/write/execute correct

 

Then went to the plex folder by:  cd /mnt/cache/apps/plex/ and ran the following command to correct the owner/group

 

chown nobody:users /mnt/cache/apps/plex
