Hi,
I’m getting an issue with Plex server. My plex is on the latest version and I access the server from a web player. I no even know what error is it. When I try to access the “localhost:32400/web” on the server, only shows these random characters.
Server Version#:
Player Version#:
turn off your javascript execution blocker.
Plex is sending you the web page. Firefox isn’t “executing” it.
Hi @ChuckPa, thanks for the answer.
I don’t use any blocker. I tried remove Plex and reinstall, didn’t worked. When I ran sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver the output is that:

I tried to change the permission because I saw an issue with plex user permission, but didn’t worked too.
That’s really odd.
If PMS isn’t running, then i’m confused how you had something respond on Plex’s port and URL.
Would you mind going into `/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server’
Make a tar.gz of ./Logs (probably best to write to /tmp/PlexLogs.tar.gz
and attach that GZ?
No problem. I can do.
The plex was functioning normally. I shut down the server and after a few hours I started again. After it started, when I tried to use this error appeared. I tried to reinstall Plex and some things that could fix, but same results.
Here is the file:
Logsplex.tar.gz (1.5 KB)
For some weird reason, there is something already using Plex’s port.
Make sure Plex Media Server itself isn’t stuck?
ps -ef | grep -i plex
If not there, then I need ask, what are you running which interacts: Proxy? Tautulli? Something else ?
Your log shows:

I don’t use proxy or tautulli, but my internet is on GC-NAT, could means something? I think that can’t because I use plex in years and this is the first time I have a problem.
The output for ps -ef | grep -i plex
thaliss+ 5848 1841 0 00:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i plex
Fair enough. Something is stuck.
Let’s do it this way:
sudo systemctl disable plexmediaserver
sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver
shutdown -r now
When it comes up:
systemctl start plexmediaserver
Let’s see what happens
If it’s running,
systemctl enable plexmediaserver
that’ll re-enable it at system restart
I already tried this before, but I trying again and it’s the same.
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2020-10-17 00:32:24 -03; 38s ago
it’s really awkward.
Go grab the plex logs again.
I got.
newlogs.tar.gz (1.5 KB)
I need more info.
systemctl disable plexmediaserver
shutdown -r now
when it restarts: netstat -an | grep 32400
See what’s on the port.
Also, is this in a VM?
You have right.
After hours thinking what could be, tried now to stop the app “Transmission”. There is some reason and I don’t why because the app have a config to specific port. I think the “transmission” have some bug that change the port.
Thanks you for the help.
