PMS not running - no logs at all

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#:1.19.4.2902
Player Version#:

OS: FREENAS 11.2

Server 1.19.3.x had been running fine but overnight it disappeared. Issuing “service plexmediaserver_plexpass start” did not start the service and did not produce any logs.

Have since upgraded to 1.19.4.2902.

Issuing “service plexmediaserver_plexpass start” results in no obvious action. There is no log written to the /usr/local/plexdata-plexpass/Plex Media Server/Logs directory.

Isn’t this command incorrect?

try
service plexmediaserver start
service plexmediaserver status

No, the command is correct.

ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Anything in dmesg? Or /var/log/messages?

Well, dmesg is a little perplexing, given that this is really being executed by root. Open to suggestions there, but otherwise: no. Nothing in the logs.
