According to my machine’s/etc/passwd PLEX_HOME should be /var/lib``/plexmediaserver , and the log should be in

/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs

      but there's nothing there: the hierarchy of directories stops at
  `/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Application Support/ `        which is currently empty

In addition, I think the /var/lib/plexmediaserver directory is owned by root, not by ‘plex’ (plex owns the server process anyway). Should I create the rest of the structure? and make it all owned by ‘plex’

Thanks,

Julio

It is working now. The trick was to chmod plex:plex $PLEX_HOME and restart. The system filled up the structure with the appropriate directories: Library, Library/Application Support, … and the web interface started working as intended.

Thanks to everyone involved. Please include a ‘chmod plex:plex $PLEX_HOME’ in the install script :slightly_smiling_face:

Well, since it did work for me on a fresh install, with my twitch, I guess the reason it was broken on your server was due to a faulty install in the first place :wink:

But when said, so glad it’s fixed for you now
