Plex plugin does not start

[tslw]

I had plex media server running on freenas 9.1 Now I have migrated to freenas 9.2. Freenas seems to work fine. I also updated the plugins. Most plugins update in a couple of minutes but plex takes more than an hour to update.

After the update of the plex plugin I cannot start the plex plugin any more. I do not get error message, after a few seconds the Off button animation stops and it remains off.

In the plex log file I found the following error messages:

Code:

Dec 23, 2013 20:07:55 [0x807407400] INFO - Plex Media Server v0.9.8.14.263-139ddbc - FreeBSD PC amd64

Dec 23, 2013 20:07:55 [0x807407400] ERROR - Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::loadOne: attempt to write a readonly database

The only thing I coudl find is that the wrong user is used to access the database.
The script I found is using user plex which seems correct.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Out of interest what is the name of this log file and which directory is it in? I would like to check mine as well. I am seeing the same error. I want to verify it is one and the same.

It is the from the Plex Media Server Log file in /usr/pbi/plexmediaserver-amd64/plexdata/Plex Media Server/Logs in the plexmediaserver jail.

During plugin upgrade there was another error message in /var/log/messages:

Code:

Dec 22 19:17:55 plex_1 su: setpriority 'root' (root): Permission denied

I found a solution. The database file itself was set read-only:

-r--r--r-- 1 plex plex 139264 Dec 23 17:39 com.plexapp.plugins.library.db

After

Code:

chmod u+w,g+w com.plexapp.plugins.library.db

everything is working again.

This file is located in: /usr/pbi/plexmediaserver-amd64/plexdata/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases

Edit: removed a typo from the command.

I used your command - but it still errored with the same problem.

I used a catchall chmod 777 * on this directory.

This fixed it.

Many thanks for all who helped

There was a typo in the command and I have corrected it.

Hi,

I fall in norskman's situation, but bouncing the jail helped and the "restricted" chmod is enough.

Side note, in my jail, the file is located in: /usr/pbi/plexmediaserver-amd64/share/plexmediaserver/Resources
I migrated from Freenas 911 to 92 and then from plex 0.9.8 to 0.9.14

Thanks for the fix!
