PMS fails to launch

Server Version#:1.15.1
Player Version#:
OSX: 10.14.3

When I launch PMS, it briefly flashes in the menu bar and then disappears. If logged in under the root user, it launches fine. So, it appears to be a permissions issue.

Additional steps taken…I ran First Aid on the hard drive and then tried to launch PMS under my admin account, but no luck.

I tried this command per this thread and received the following error:

cd /Applications
./Plex\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Plex\ Media\ Server

Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: database disk image is malformed for SQL: PRAGMA cache_size=2000 (N4soci10soci_errorE)

[El Cap (OS 10.11.x) update - now PMS ( Plex Media Server 1.3.3 ) won't launch]](El Cap (OS 10.11.x) update - now PMS ( Plex Media Server 1.3.3 ) won't launch])

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
