Hi. I accidentally installed a new copy of plex server over the top of my working server…Is there an easy way to get my libraries and apps back without going through an entire setup again?I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Thanks. Mark

As long as you did not manually delete your database, all your scanned libraries and configurations should still be present.

As long as you didn’t manually delete /var/lib/plexmediaserver directory, then you should be good

Thanks. I see my photos, music and movies. My iphone sync is not showing up. On my phone it shows two servers (both with same name)…one is offline (includes my photo sync ) and the other is online (no photo sync). Is this easy to correct?

Easy to correct.

Settings - Devices - Servers from the Plex/ Web browser

Remove the older instance of the server with the same name.
