Plex server updated, now does not find my media libraries &asking to completely rebuild from scratch

EDIT: UPDATE: Plex server now finds all my libraries. I quit everything, restarted the Mac and restarted the Server app on the Mac. Logged in and now it finally shows my libraries. Goodness knows where they went but I am glad they are appearing again. Phew.

Server Version#:
Player Version#:

Sorry, I am hopeless with this stuff, maybe its a simple thing.
My Ipad said there was an udpate for plex server available the other day, (Sunday/Monday Sept 1st or 2nd 2024 i think). so on it I chose to click update. Now when I reawaken my Mac, which I assumed had been “plex server updated”, login in and now find it wants to fully create my media libraries as if they dont exist anymore. Aaargh. I have no idea where the preferences of plex’s database is even though I got messages saying it was indeed backed up a few times recently. How do I get the plex server to reinstall or find my library database? I hate hate hate having to rebuild the plex media libraries (as its such a pain and takes forever and never seems to completely or correctly find everything), so am hoping it can restore things to previous before it was updated, least it was 90% working then for me. Thank you, i will go now and try calm down and mop up the mess from where I threw the cuppa…
