OSX Server: Can't get Plex Connect to work

I cant find where ... on my system preferences there is no server options! 

When I search for " Server" on spotlight I get this " You cant use this version of the application " Server" with this version of OS x" ;(

Server will always be there unless you re-initialise the drive and install plain vanilla Mountain Lion. If you deleted the Server app it is still there and running DNS etc.

I have turned off all services in Server.app and still get the: "Failed to create socket on UDP port 53: [Errno 48] Address already in use" error. What could be causing this?

I didn't delete the app ..

Dont know what I did, but I formated my mini server and installed a version without the server...dont remember where I read how to do it ..

Anyway .. is there a way to disable this !? Any commands on terminal ?

install the correct version of the server app, then turn DNS off.

I have DNS turned off but found that I still got the error.

I tried to see what was using port 53 and found this:

server:~ taylorhoward$ sudo lsof -i :53
COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
named   571 root   20u  IPv4 0xbb7e6d40ce58f7bf      0t0  TCP 192.168.2.1:domain (LISTEN)
named   571 root  512u  IPv4 0xbb7e6d40dbc9ac9f      0t0  UDP 192.168.2.1:domain
 
I know that 'named' relates to DNS but can't find out how to stop it. The IP addresses are weird because the IP's on my network are 10.0.1.XXX

If you open up settings.py is that IP address present in it?

It is listed for the fallback IP if PlexGDM fails. I tried leaving it as it is and also tried changing it to the IP of my PMS however neither worked.

The latest code now has an option to use your own  DNS server, make sure you setup the forwarding for trailers on the DNS server though if you want to use your own.

If anyone gets this to work properly OS X Server, please post detailed instructions here on how to configure it. Thanks

Here's a guide to how I solved it on OS X Server 10.7

I am going to lock this thread because I think SebSeb’s thread has a superb guide and would be a better focus for discussion, just make sure you read his guide in the opening post before asking questions please.
