Server Version#: 1.25.2.5319-c43dc0277
Player Version#:
I wiped and reinstalled Monterey on my mac pro and now when I try to launch the media server it shows up on the top right of my desktop for like a milisecond and goes away. It will not launch, no logs, no errors. Im not having any issue with any other apps. Has anyone else run into this? Please help I have used plex for years and don’t want to have to buy a new computer.
Does the server create some logs before stopping?
With the server not actually running, you’ll need to collect those server logs manually from ~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server/. You’ll need to look for Plex Media Server.log in that folder.
If the folder or file don’t exist, try to execute the server from Terminal instead. This should give some error or status messages from the OS side of things.
/Applications/
Plex Media Server app and select Show Contents
Contents/MacOS/
Plex Media Server from #3 into the Terminal window and hit Enter.Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::loadOne: database disk image is malformed (N4soci10soci_errorE)
Did you copy/migrate your old database from a previous setup?
If so you could try to repair the database.
If you started from scratch, you should be able to delete the server data directory and start over (should be ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/)
I did not copy/migrate. I also don’t have a plex folder under Application Support. I also tried this article with no luck: Repair a Corrupted Database | Plex Support
Have you checked the (hidden) library folder for your current user or the (also hidden) system library folder?
Ahhh, That did it. There were two plex folders hidden under /Users/me/Library/Application Support/
Whew thanks a million!
