I had to replace my failing drive and when I run Plex, it runs for a little while then says “manually stopped”. All the other posts were for older versions and don’t detail any useful steps I could follow as far as I can tell.

From your logs:

```auto
Jan 18, 2026 20:58:59.710 [548318683168] ERROR - SQLITE3:0x7faa576ec0, 1, no such table: schema_migrations in "select version from schema_migrations order by version"
Jan 18, 2026 20:58:59.921 [548318683168] ERROR - Database corruption: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: no such table: schema_migrations for SQL: select version from schema_migrations order by version

```

Your Plex database is fubar and that is why Plex cannot continue running.

You can try [restoring a database backup](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/) or you can try using ChuckPa’s [database repair script](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair)

Thanks for the reply. Restoring a backup did the trick, I really appreciate your helping this helpless layman.
