You need to enable debug logging on the server. On the server settings page --> General -->Show Advanced. (I have verbose logging enabled too, but I don't think you need that to capture the IP addresses) It is mentioned in the config.pl file as a remark on the 4th or 5th line :)
Naturally, IP logging will start from that point, previous entries will still be n/a
I cant speak for the other poster having the issue. But I have all 3 logging options checked off. Still only get N/A
Hmm - that's odd. As soon as I enabled those, the IP logging worked. Maybe I stopped and re-started the server for the new settings to actually kick in - I can't remember ...
This option is enabled since beginning and still don't capture the IP:
Are you sure you entered the path in config.pl correctly (double backslashes)?
Mine
$server_log = 'c:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Plex Media Server\\Logs\\Plex Media Server.log'; ## used to log IP address of user (alpha) $log_client_ip = 1; ## requires $server_log to be available too. (requires File::ReadBackwards) ## also required DEBUG log to be turned on in the PMS
***Didn't read previous posts so maybe you already confirmed that
Just the "plex media server.log" one (with the \\ like in my example.
If you didn't set this up, big chance this is your issue IMO...
Based on you screenshot, yours should look like this:
$server_log = 'c:\\Users\\leisan\\AppData\\Local\\Plex Media Server\\Logs\\Plex Media Server.log'; ## used to log IP address of user (alpha) $log_client_ip = 1; ## requires $server_log to be available too. (requires File::ReadBackwards) ## also required DEBUG log to be turned on in the PMS
ah, I missed this part too
""$log_cliente_ip = 1".
Do I need a PlexPass subscription for this? Because the original poster on the other forum crossed that requirement out, but then he said "You must have a PlexPass for this to work!", so I have no idea whether you do or you don't need one. I just want to be able to know what shows my family has watched on my Windows Plex server, but I don't have a subscription.

He answered your question in the other thread.

Where does it say that? ;)
The Plex Pass restriction was lifted since 0.9.11.4 includes Now Playing for everyone.
Did anyone ever get access to PlexWatchWeb from outside of their local network? I was wanting to view the interface from another computer. Is this possible?
Thanks!

See my post on the first page of this thread, it's a case of first password protecting PWW and then making sure the port (usually 80) is forwarded from your router. You can use a custom port for a bit more privacy. Works fine for me.
I performed all the tasks but all I get is the Xampp landing page. Is there something else I need to edit to have it display the PWW site?
**EDIT**
NVM I found the line in the httpd.conf file and changed it. This got me up and running. Thanks for your help jdbrookes
I performed the password setup that you recommended but my site pulls right up. Is there anything else I need to do to setup password access to my site?
I tried to re-run the password setup but I keep getting the error "This app can't run on your PC".
Firstly, great tutorial and many thanks for going to the effort :-)
Secondly, apologies for the noob setup question but I seem to be stuck trying to get Pushover to send out the notifications. From what I can see I have installed everything correctly and the PlexWatc log files are being populated (so assuming it's picked up the correct username/passowrd and Plex media log locations).
I have registered a new app in Pushover and applied both the user and app token in the config.pl file however I just get the following error message upon starting/stopping media.
"setting pushover to back off additional notifications"
Any ideas on where I am going wrong guys?
Thanks in advance

I saw something similar when I set it up, you might be seeing a cached version of the page. Try accessing from a different device outside your network, using a different browser or refreshing the page.
Hey everyone, I was just nosing around xampp making sure I had everything secured properly. I came across this page (you need to access it locally on the machine with xampp installed):
http://localhost/security/index.php
You should follow the instructions in here to secure the web server from others on your local network, or indeed the internet (if you are accessing PWW from outside your home network as I am).
Also be sure to follow my previous instructions to ensure you password protect your PWW pages when accessing outside your home network.
I think I broke it...
I had everything working up until the point where I added a password, updated the timezone and changed the ports. Now I am getting a Server Error, Error 500.
I have no idea what I did... Anyone able to assist?
I resolved it. I back tracked all my port/password settings. However I am unable to access the phpmyadmin page now... oye.
Hi could someone please help me with the user naming section I can’t seem to get it to work
I’m using push bullet and I’ve copied over the name it shows and set it to display another name. Yet it doesn’t work

'rikhilp' => 'Rikhil',
Here is an example of what I did. My names seem to be working. I used the names from my Users page in Plex.
The Current Activity in PLexWatchWeb seems to still use the original user names though.
Using push bullet I see "My PleXBMC Client" when I add this and want to see "phairplay" it doesn't work'rikhilp' => 'Rikhil',

I can try to help but I'm just trying to figure most of this out myself.
I would reference my plexWatch.log file. If you want you can post at least that portion of your config.pl file.
