Server Version#: 1.20.1
macOS version: 10.15.7
When I launch Plex Media Server the icon appears own the menu bar briefly. Selecting the icon shows “Server is Starting…” in the menu for about 20 seconds, then the menu disappears. The app is no longer running. I only recently reinstalled the app.
I would try deleting the com.plexapp.plexmediaserver.plist file , restart computer then try to launch server again first. It will treat it like it is a new server install as far as ID. Info on file location can be found here https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105343-advanced-hidden-server-settings/
This did not work. I even reinstalled the App after restarting. Same issue.
Are there any crash logs? https://support.plex.tv/articles/201455336-crash-logs-plex-media-server/
No. There is a folder for crash reports and a folder created today. It contains an empty folder named “PLEX MEDIA SERVER”.
it is creating regular logs at all? It might have info on what it was doing before crash https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/#toc-1

Looks like there is database corruption causing issues.

You mentioned in first post this is a reinstall. If you are starting from scratch then I would try deleting the entire Plex Media Server folder that is in Application Support or move it to desktop or someplace to backup https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/
