Thanks, I’ll check back in a few hours. Let me know if there’s any info i can share

@jpmacdonald

Plex.tv is having a problem. (see above). I just alerted the operations team.

Local time here is 02.00

I will be offline soon

I will return here when I wake

Understood! Thanks for the help.

folks, try now (restart)

Works for me now! Thanks!

@ChuckPa Everything seems to be working again, thanks!

Much appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello :slight_smile:

i usually use a rasperry to connect to plex, but today, the server (from my NAS, on the same network) was found, but not reachable. (the web interface is functionnal, as well as my app on android)
After some research, i found these messages each i was trying to connect:

CERT incomplete TLS handshake: tlsv1 alert unknown ca
CERT incomplete TLS handshake: tlsv1 alert unknown ca
yes, 2 times, and i don’t know why.

From what i read, can you reset the certificate?

thanks in advance

Nevermind, all is fine now. My version of the server was not up to date.

@ChuckPa Thanks for all your hard work.

Hopping on this train as well. New PMS installation and I am running into a whole lotta

If you could also reset my certs, that’d be lovely. For now, I’ve turned off the server until you’ve done so.

Tickets please :slight_smile:

@runrunaway

Your certificate has been reset.

You had maxed it out with 5. suggest you look at the permissions of the file system and make sure the plex user can write to it and save the certificate .

You may now restart the server

I reinstalled Plex and am pointing it to my old Plex Media Server directory. HTTP works but HTTPS does not. I think I need a cert reset too. I’ve shutdown my server. This is from the debug console:

@Katmando911

Certificate reset.
You may restart the server.

In the future, there is no need to keep deleting the server instance. You had used up a large number of certificates do to this.

Seem to be having the same issue. Could i get my cert rest please?

Hi @ChuckPa,

Could you please reset my cert? Server name is SGROI. Thank you,

@ChuckPa

Can I get my cert reset also having this issue also, from the logs:

ERROR - CERT: Error acquiring new certificate: Failed to upload CSR: 429, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
  <error code="1003" message="API rate limit exceeded"/>
</errors>

@kayadugong_hotmail_com

Sorry for the delay.

I only see one server on this account and it does not have a certificate.

I can’t help you much with this (Windows) but the server was last seen 4 hours ago as of this post time.

@johnshortland

Certificate reset, you may restart the server.
