I accidentally deleted the PMS from my account on the plex web interface. . Is there a way to re-run the initial pms setup on unraid without factory resetting? Or does anyone have any other suggestions that might work.

It’s even easier than that. 
Stop PMS on the server.
Start PMS on the server.
When it connects to Plex.tv, it will sign in again and re-establish itself with the same ID numbers.
It didn’t work. I cannot get anything to come up when i put in (Server IP address):32400/web either…
Not a problem. We can still “reclaim” it and put it back without initializing again.
- Sign out of the Plex/web app (upper right)
- Open an incognito browser window
- Assuming the server is on this computer, open
http://127.0.0.1:32400/web - If on a a computer on your lan, open
http://LAN.IP.of.server:32400/web - Sign in
- It will claim “we’ve found a server” and want to claim -or- start setup (worst case)
IF claim, Claim it - problem resolved
IF it wants to setup again.
- Start the setup sequence HOWEVER
a. DO NOT create new library sections. SKIP this part. Your sections exist.
b. Proceed normally through the rest of the setup, assigning settings as you wish. - When you Finish and arrive at the dashboard, it will be normal again.
Lastly, if the server is remote (distant or on a different subnet)
ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.host
-sign in and let sit idle-
Open http://127.0.0.1:8888/web in the incognito browser window
Good evening, I tried the solutions that you listed. However , each time I get a unable to connect dialogue in the window. This happened the first time I attempted to fix this. Am I lost?
I performed the steps editing the preferences document. However, When i go to login to (server IP:32400/web) it says it cannot connect. What do I do from here?
