When i updated yesterday first got a message to claim this server. I did. now plex will not stay running checked server log and saw

Error: Unable to set up server: Failed to load certificate file ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources\cacert.pem’: No such file or directory (class std::runtime_error)

found a old cacert.pem in app data local plex and copied to the error location.
plex seems to be happy now just want to make sure this will not cause a problem in the future.
Thanks

I had the same issue but could not find an old version of “cacert.pem”. I did find a “dh512.pem”. Once I copied that to “cacert.pem”, PLEX server started without error.

I’m sure this is not the best solution. Should I reinstall or wait for the next update of Plex?
