Hi all, I have a Linux Server CentOS 7.4 64-bits, no graphical interface, only command line, and I installed the Plex Media Server for CentOS 64-bits. But when I open the Plex interface in a browser on any desktop, it displays “Looking for servers …” messages. I have already removed the Preferences.xml file, I have reinstalled, already uninstalled and did a new installation. Nothing works. Any idea?
Please read the important part in the installation guide: “Opening the Plex Web App on a Device Other than the Server Itself”. Most likely, your desktops are not “on the same network” as the server. So “On a Different Network” is specially relevant.

Thanks for you information, but the desktops (one windows 10 and other one macOS High Sierra) both are on the same network as the Linux server.
Would you like to try my claim server script? 
It’s intended for such strange problems.
# download the script
curl -L -o plex-claim-server.sh https://github.com/uglymagoo/plex-claim-server/raw/master/plex-claim-server.sh
# make the script executable
chmod +x plex-claim-server.sh
# go to https://www.plex.tv/claim/ in your browser and get the claim token and replace PLEX_CLAIM with this token in the next command, please use use the double quotes around your claim token
sudo ./plex-claim-server.sh "PLEX_CLAIM"
# fix permissions
sudo chown plex:plex "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml"
# restart plex
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver
Thanks in advanced. All working.
See you.
