Plex Media Server Currently Unavailable

Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707
Player Version#: 4.57.4
MacOS: Big Sur 11.4

I have been ripping DVDs for Plex recently and all was going just fine, until suddenly it seemed my PMS stopped functioning. I have an error saying my server is currently unavailable. I have tried to search these forums and found some similar things and troubleshooting steps. I have turned off my antivirus and any Safari extensions like ad blockers. Checked privacy and security, access, etc. I’m not 100% sure of the sequence, but I’m pretty sure the issues started when I upgraded to the PMS latest version. So, I found a previous version and installed it instead. Same problems. I tried some terminal steps to clean a corrupt database but that didn’t seem to do anything (literally, entered command then got “…>” that never went away). I’m not the most technical but I’m trying. I have a log that seems relevant - pasted below. I’m completely stuck and have no idea what else to try. Thanks in advance for any help.

I should also say that I have updated the PMS version to current again, and now it says my server is unclaimed, so I clicked to claim it, sign in (indicates successful), but then get an error saying there was an issue signing in, and it’s unavailable again.
