Plexmediaserver doesn't run

[philhu]

I installed it, it ran fine.

So I want to move over from an old centos server. I renamed all directory paths in the jail to look just like they did when mounted by network to the nas.

Took the 'Plex Media Server' directory from Centos and copied it to the /var/db/plex directory

Start up plex from plugins menu, it spins for about 4 seconds and dies

I do have a large server, about 960 tv shows and 2000 movies. Plex data dir is about 10G.

Anyone gotten this to work?

Plex needs permission to write to /var/db/plexdata/*

can you show the output of...
service plexmediaserver onestart
ls -l /var/db/plexdata

then try...
chown -R plex /var/db/plexdata

The chown took upwards of 5 minutes thanks to always write zfs :)

It stayed in the run state, a few plugins starting. First time, I will give it a few minutes to start. After 5 minutes, website still not up, but it is busy!!!

Update....works fine. Just had to let it settle down, and rename it to the new name.

A few server settings off, but 99% moved.....

Yay!
