Plexmediaserver 1.19.3.2852.218a8874e_amd64.deb constantly crashed

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2852.218a8874e

I was running pms 1.16 and tried to upgrade to 1.19 yesterday. After successfully downloading and installing the new version, plex refused to start. This is what the system log says:

After spending hours in trying to find out what’s going wrong (including deleting plugins), I tried to revert to pms 1.16. Unexpectedly, this version boots up perfectly and everything is working fine.

Does anyone know what might go wrong here?

I too am having the same issue upgrading from 1.16.0.1226-7eb2c8f6f to 1.19.3.2852-219a9974e. Same issue crash wont restart. But i install the oldest version no issue.

May I have the DEBUG logs ZIP file of whatever you have?

Similar but on a Mac: Version 1.19.3.2852 will not start.

I can’t help with a Mac. I only have Linux machines.
Are there logs available which show a partial start?
