Cannot register new server to my account or add media

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.29.2.6364-6d72b0cf6
Player Version#:

I cannot register new remote dedicated ubuntu server to my account.

  • I wanted to move my existing media to a new server (ubuntu 20 lte).
  • Ubuntu installation ok
  • plexmediaserver runs as a daemon
  • i can reach port 32400 and i can login sucessfully (via http)
  • i cannot add media/libraries, plex wants me to install a server
  • i do get a message " Any Plex Web settings and customization made in this Plex Web instance will not be synchronized with other Plex Web instances. This is because we have detected you have previously saved settings from a newer version of Plex Web. "

Thanx ahead for any help/ideas to fix this issue.

Have you connected to the server using SSH tunnel?

  1. ssh -l your_remote_username_here 8888:ip_address_of_host:32400
  2. sign in and let the ssh session sit idle at the command line
  3. In your local browser -
  • Open a new browser tab to http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

It will respond to you as if you are connected to the machine locally.
