FreeBSD/FreeNAS Upgrade of Plex not working

Plex Players Gaming Consoles
1

I'm currently running Plex on a FreeNAS running in a pluginjail (installed awhile back 0.9.8.18 from a PBI). I'm excited for the new Xbox support, but saw I needed to update. Sought out the site, found the PlexPass download for 0.9.10.3. Tried to figure out how to update my jail install manually using this download. Found the PMS_Updater script on GitHub from another forum post. Figured this would be easiest.

 

Root into the jail, downloaded updater script, supplied info, set to verbose, got successful looking messages. Tried to login to the web UI, and nothing is loading. Not an immediate failed to load, so something is ticking behind the scene. Run TOP in the jail and I can see Plex Media Server listed there. So I believe it is there and running, but unfortunately the web UI is not responsive for me. I've taken a snapshot inside FreeNAS of the jail, and rolled back to restore to my previous working state, but I'm a little stuck here as I'd like to test out the Xbox One app. 

 

Any help? Anyone else with similar issue? Any logs that can be of assistance?

Ok, crisis averted. I'm not sure what the actual issue was, but I've got a workaround that has worked. At least on getting the server updated.

I thought to myself let's at least get this server updated to the latest working version (public) so any tweak and updates can be taken advantage of. I figured ok that worked properly, let's try and run the update now see if perhaps there was something caught in the works. Update worked, and I was able to reach my server, fully intact. So I've now got a working 0.9.10.3.

And I just tested the Xbox, it's connecting too. This is SHWEEET!!
