Changed my plex password and now server unavailable

Not sure what happened ;s

that tells me the server isn’t running. changing password won’t cause that.

Go to the command line, cd over to the Plex directory and grab a tar.gz of ./Logs and attach here. We’ll see what Plex is complaining about. That failing, journalctl -xe | grep -i plex should tell the remainder.

I just un-installed the server and re-installed it.

Did that solve it? Under normal conditions, that would have no impact.

Yeah it did. I only had to re-run the installation. All of my files are already sorted by folder, so re-creating the library wasn’t any hassle for me.

I have just seen this problem, the non-destructive solution was to access the plex over its local address http://127.0.0.1:32400 and there it showed: you have an unclaimed server on the network, after clicking “claim it”, it logged in the server again with my credentials in its backend and normal operation resumed. This should be handled slightly better I guess. (when I changed the password I have selected the checkbox: sign out all instances, or something similar, so probably that is what signed out even the server itself)
