I’m running PlexMediaServer on CentOS 7 and have enabled the Plex repo.
The problem is that I have to manually restart PMS after every upgrade to Plex.
Why isn’t the update script doing this? Is it something to do with my set up?
How can I see what the update script is doing to restart PMS, and thus try to troubleshoot why it’s failing to start it back up?
Is anyone else running into this issue? I’ve been putting up with it for a while now, because I don’t have updates running automatically so I just have to remember to restart PMS after running updates but if I had updates running automatically this would be a real PITA.
did you remember sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver or are you using SYSV-init on Centos ?
PMS should be honoring the current run state.
Yes it is enabled in systemctl. Hence the problem. It SHOULD be returning to whatever it is in systemctl, but it’s not. Is there any log I can check to see what’s causing this behavior?
journalctl -xe | grep plex
will tell you what’s happening. systemd events are recorded there as well,.
I have nothing from plex there. I’ll try rolling back and then updating again and see what happens.
Thank you.
Hrm, it seems PMS doesn’t want to be rolled back. Guess I’ll just wait till the next update and then update this thread then.
uninstall the package.
install the older package.
You can’t ‘downgrade’ on main linux.
Thank you, I don’t know why I couldn’t figure that out. I’m tired.
So I did that, then upgraded PMS and…
It started up fine this time, of course. Maybe I’m just crazy.
If I mark your response as Solution does that make this thread Solved? Or close the thread?
Edit: At least I know where to check now if it happens again. If it happens again in the next 3 months I’ll update this thread with the appropriate info from journalctl. Thanks again @ChuckPa
when a solution is marked, it simply adds/links that solution to the first post.
the thread remains open until ~3 months or whatever with no further replies
Wow, I really am tired. It says that right at the bottom.
