Plex Media Server no longer launches

As a recent Lifetime Subscriber I’m very frustrated as my Plex Media server has stopped working and will no longer launch. I’m on a 2019 iMac running Big Sur and had been using the server for about a month before it one day no longer was launch able. I’ve done all the obvious things, then enlisted a very knowledgeable tech person who did all the less obvious things, to no avail

Server Version#:
Player Version#:

can you post your logs?

Yes, but I’m not 100% clear on how to do that.

Here a support article on the subject.
