PMS Crashes soon after access (Clean install)

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252-a78fef9a9_amd64 (Running on Ubuntu 20.04)
Player Version#:

After upgrading to 1.20.1.3252 my Plex Server started crashing for no apparent reason.
I tried reinstalling it from scratch, running apt purge, removing everything in /var/lib/plexmediaserver and checking that /usr/lib/plexmediaserver is also removed. I removed the plex user and group.
Still when I start Plex, it runs fine, until I access it, then after a few seconds to minutes it crashes.

Attached you can find the full log files (I can also provide the crash dump if needed), I sadly am unable to find any fault in them myself.
Only thing that looks suspicious to me is a CRITICAL warning in PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.system.log:

Anyone? Any idea?
I would really like to use Plex again, but this makes it impossible.

Sorry I didn’t receive notification of this until now.

I’m seeing CURL error 6 (DNS lookup failures) in the snippet you provided.

DNS lookup will stop it from working and fail those “http_open” calls.

Thanks a lot for the answer :slight_smile:
Hmm, didn’t notice that. I did have a few DNS issues the past couple of days but I just tried it, and the server can resolve DNS just fine now.
I tried again to start Plex and I couldn’t find those lines anymore in the new logs, but instead I had a lot of lookup errors in regards to plex.direct.
One of the IPs is also the one of my server.

It should run them only the first time a new version is used.
Please check the ownership of the files in /var/lib/plexmediaserver .

Also, next time, may have the full ZIP?

Starting from /var/lib/plexmediaserver everything is correctly owned by the plex user and group.

And yes, sure: logs.zip (108.8 KB)

Do you purge the logs?

If so, there is no need to. They are self maintaining. (about 65MB maximum for all)

I was hoping to see and compare previous startups.

Would you mind restarting PMS again and then including the Logs directory again?

I had removed plex again before I received your first comment, as I had given up, thus it was a clean install again.

I restarted as you requested and here are the new logs: logs2.zip (128.1 KB)

Thanks.

Your networking configuration (a proxy?) is causing problems.

Oh, I also backed up my Logs folder from when the crash first happend, before I tried reinstalling fresh, that might help more: logs_old.zip (112.7 KB)

plex.contabo.wuest.dev is the server of a friend.
He has a similar setup to mine, we both run it behind an Nginx reverse proxy (his setup is still working).

After reinstalling for the setup, I accessed it via SSH port forwarding though.

Thanks for differentiating,

There is a problem here though.

This is the server not being able to get to Plex.tv’s regional hosts.

May I ask how many VMs are running and if this server itself is also in a VM?

The server is a VPS hosted by Contabo, thus my whole server is technically just a big single VM.

I ran these quick connection tests from the server terminal.

Please give me some time to try a few things?

I have a personal appointment this morning and will be back in a few hours.
Is that ok?

Of course, no problem. For me it’s already late afternoon so it might be some time until I can reply again myself.
A big thank you already for trying to help me out :slight_smile: !

I would like you to do the following.

  1. cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
  2. rename Library to Library.save
  3. Sign out of the Plex/web app (upper right corner)
  4. Start Plex
  5. Open the server and start setting up a new one.
  6. Give it a Friendly Name which doesn’t conflict with anything. e.g. TEST SERVER
  7. Add one library section (a small one).
  8. Let’s see what happens here.

If this fails, download these logs and attach.

Okay, I’m doing that.
Here are the steps that I have taken in the order that I did:

  1. Connect to Server using SSH with the 32400 port forward (for the setup)
  2. Renamed Library to Library.save
  3. Signed out of Plex
  4. Started Plex Media Server successfully
Sep 22 09:16:17 vmd46282.contaboserver.net systemd[1]: Starting Plex Media Server...
Sep 22 09:16:17 vmd46282.contaboserver.net systemd[1]: Started Plex Media Server.
  1. I’m waiting a few minutes to see if some thing happens / it crashes on its own
  2. 5 Minutes later, Plex is still running, I’m now connecting via the browser
  3. Connected and logged in successfully
  4. Added a small library that contains only 2 TV Shows. They are located in a folder that is accessible by the plex Unix user.
  5. Got redirected to Main Plex page after setup and the server crashed.
  6. Systemd cleaned up the processes and restarted Plex
  7. Browser tries continously to reconnect to the TEST SERVER
  8. Crashed again after 1 minute, server was not accessible in the meantime
  9. Forcing plex to stop with systemctl stop plexmediaserver to stop restart loop and waiting for it to fully clean up all plex processes.
  10. Downloading logs, see attached:

Hey, have you had time to look at this again? :slight_smile:

I’m sorry. It’s been a very crazy week.

I would like to ask why you are using IPV6 exclusively ?

Plex’s IPv6 implementation is not complete.
Most things are still IPv4 based including Plex.tv.

Also, are you using a regular PMS desktop installation inside a docker container?

Sure, no problem, just wanted to remind you :slight_smile:

I am not using IPv6 exclusively, my server is available on both IPv6 and IPv4. My home internet can also use both, but generelly prefers to establish IPv6.

No, not running inside docker. I considered trying the docker image after this issue manifested, but didn’t get any further than pulling it, as I would have had to change many of my filesystem mounts and I generally don’t like docker. But I could try running the image and see if that works to maybe narrow it down somehow?
Thus I still only have Gitlab and Mailcow setup in docker (justed checked, the plex docker is not running).
