Changed host name - Plex is not reachable via browser anymore

Hi folks,

A few days ago, I reinstalled my CentOS 7 on an SSD and changed the hostname of the Linux server in this way.
After installing the server and restoring the backup, I restarted the Plex Media Server. This worked without error messages. After that, however, no connection to the server could be made via the browser. The following error message was displayed: <my.user.server_name> not available.
Is it possible to change an entry in a configuration file to tell the Plex Media Server that the hostname is now new?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Ingmar

Did you reclaim the server you restored from backup? The new install needs to be hooked up with the restored plex server by claiming it. Once you get it claimed, you then can delete the old server.
