PlexMedia Server Won't Start with Static IP Jail

[Vashan]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to FreeNAS, so forgive me if this is something obvious.
I installed PlexMedia server and it works fine, but when I delete it, set Static IP's for my Jails
and reinstalled, it wont start. It says, "Some Error Occurred".
I cannot seem to find a Log of what it wrong, if you guys need this I understand and would ask
you where to find it.

Thanks very much in Advance,

Vashan

I added a screenshot of my Plex Jail settings.

Did you delete the plugin or just the jail? The log messages should be in the messages file(/var/log/messages).

 

[Vashan]

I deleted the plugin, which in turn removed the jail for me. I found the log, doesn't say much though;

May 5 18:07:15 plexmediaserver_1 newsyslog[62868]: logfile first created
May 5 18:07:15 plexmediaserver_1 syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel

not in the jail but in freenas check the logs.

System specs???

This might be it...

May 5 20:24:08 freenas manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:571] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.0.177/plugins/plexmediaserver/1/_s/treemenu: timed out

System specs???

It has nothing to do with system specs. When I run it with DHCP enabled it runs just fine, transcoding everything I want it to.

Just for the heck of it, I uninstalled PMS again, set the Jails Config to DHCP. Now the service enables just fine, so must have something to do with the IP address...

 

[Vashan]

Well, I solved it another way. Reserved an IP on my router with the MAC Address from the plex server. Seems easier. Thank you for all the help everyone.

I had the same issue before. You have to stop the PMS plugin first. Then you can change the IP. Start the plugin again.
