Installing Plex Server Hangs

[BamBamm]

I updated to U3 and installing Plex still hangs up @ 50 percent.
Does anyone have a workaround?

Can you please provide more information. Installing plugins? manual? what specific build are you using?

 

[BamBamm]

Installing plugin, and I am using 11.2-U3?

Anything in var/log/messages?

What is your hardware? (please post in thread, signatures are not always visible on mobile)

Anything in var/log/messages?

I don't know where to find this.

What is your hardware?

• Intel X25e 32GB SSD Boot Drive
• FreeNAS-11.2-U3
• SuperMicro - X8DTH -F
• Onboard LSI 2008 SAS Flashed IT Mode P20 Firmware
• Dual Intel Xeon Processors - X5690
• 196GB DDR3 PC3-10600R RDIMM ECC
• SuperChassis SC826E16-R1200LPB
• 12x Seagate Constellation ES.2 ST32000645ss HDDs
• 1200W 80PLUS Gold Level Certified (2+1 redundant) - efficiency Power Supply

• FreeNAS-12-U3

I could be mistaken but I don't believe that exists. latest version is 11.2-U3

var/log/messages is a location on your freenas box. ssh into your freenas box and navigate to that file and open up that file with your favorite text editor (ee, nano, etc.). look for any messages around the time you tried installing plex.

 

[BamBamm]

ssh into your freenas box

How do I do this?

 

[Velcade]

Try manually setting your IPv4 address instead of using DHCP when you install.

Alternatively you can manually create your Plex Jail and then use the shell to download Plex

Package failed to install, retry #3

Try manually setting your IP address instead of using DHCP when you install.

I did try this but it doesn't allow me to save and continue on.

Alternatively you can manually create your Plex Jail and then use the shell to download Plex

Is there a tutorial that shows how to do this? I really don't know what I am doing...

I can not create a Jail or add any plugins via Legacy mode.

 

[Velcade]

Don't go through legacy mode.

1. Manually create a plex jail.
2. Create/link storage for that jail.
3. Go back to the main jails tab.
4. Select plex jail and then select shell command.
5. type
   Code:

   pkg upgrade

   then
   Code:

   Y

6. type
   Code:

   pkg install plexmediaserver-plexpass

7. Once done type
   Code:

   sysrc plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable=YES

8. in a browser, navigate to your plex jail's assigned IP:32400\web
9. Login into plex.

If this seems too complicated read up on Jails in the User Guide link

 

[BamBamm]

I pay each month for plex, is that plex pass?

 

[Velcade]

I pay each month for plex, is that plex pass?

yes

 

[BamBamm]

yes

Thought so but didn't want to say yes without knowing for sure.

 

[BamBamm]

I also get this error.

 

[Velcade]

Look at the address it was assigned. 0.0.0.0

Something isn't right. Click the three dots and edit. What does it say for your network config on that jail

Is your FreeNAS system powered on?

 

[BamBamm]

Is your FreeNAS system powered on?

Yes, it is on.
I refreshed the server and the jail is turned on now.

Now, what do I do?
Create/link storage for that jail? How do I do this? Sorry for the step by step, but I want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

 

[Velcade]

Create/link storage for that jail?

Correct.
First you need to Stop the jail.
Then you click on Mount Points
Then map your media to your jail.
