Plex Server not setting up due to lack of plugins folder - Solved!

Server Version#:1.16.5.1488-deeb86e7f

I cannot start setting up my library because this keeps showing up in my log:

WARN - Warning: ex: boost::filesystem::last_write_time: The system cannot find the file specified: “C:\Users\dalek\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins”, couldn’t check file: “C:\Users\dalek\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins”

There is no “Plug-ins” folder, though there is a “Plug-in Support” folder.

Maybe you could get by this if you manually create a “Plug-Ins” folder. There are, at least for now, supposed to be both folders. The installer you have may be failing to create the folder for one reason or another but if that is all that is wrong then manually creating the folder could well fix it.

still getting errors:

DEBUG - Completed: [[::1]:63602] 404 GET /system/agents (4 live) GZIP 1ms 379 bytes (pipelined: 127)

(also tried in Chrome, was getting other errors related to Firefox)

I reached the limit of my expertise with my last answer/guess. Someone with actual knowledge will have to help now.

I’ll try a reinstall, and if it doesn’t work, can you point me in that direction?

In case something is corrupted be sure you download a new copy of the installer. Sometimes things just get screwed up during downloads.

As far as a “real” expert goes there are plenty of them that watch these boards. But since this is Friday it may take a bit for one to come along.

That fixed it. Guess a few bytes got broken on the way to my computer the first time. Thanks!

In every major system there are a few of lines of code that always slip in:
1: On (Random) ScrewRamdomUser();
2: On (Random) DoSomethingUnexpected();
3: On (Random) CrashWithoutError();
4: If (PickRandomUser()=CurentUser()) then ProduceRandomErrorWithoutExplenation();
