Plex server not working on Raspberry Pi 2 with Stretch

Hello

I am having some issues with getting Plex media server to run on my Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspian Stretch.

I followed the instructions here: https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/raspberry-pi-plex-server
And something went wrong in the install, so I searched around and saw this tip:
From the above guide, I replaced
echo “deb https://dev2day.de/pms/ jessie main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list
With
echo “deb https://dev2day.de/pms/ stretch main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list

then, replaced
sudo apt-get install -t jessie plexmediaserver
With
sudo apt-get install -t stretch plexmediaserver-installer

(from: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=191999) Now the install seemed to go just fine.

However, I am unable to connect: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

When I try: sudo service plexmediaserver status
I get:
● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server for Linux

It’s not a Raspberry Pi 2. Like many others have done before, I am quite sure you confuse a RPi 1 Model B+ with a Pi 2. The Pi 1 is not supported, as there is no armv6 build of Plex.

Well that explains it…
And some other things as well.
Thank you @uglymagoo :slight_smile:
