Restore Database

Server Version#:
Player Version#:

I have just run a fresh install of Plex on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS. After this, I stopped Plex running using the command:

sudo service plexmediaserver stop

Then, I emptied the directory below and replaced it with the contents from my backup of my old installation.

/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server

Since then, I have restarted the OS, and also manually started the service (using the reverse of the command above.) However, if I browse to app.plex.com I get an error saying that it couldn’t connect to the server, and if I browse to IP:port/web I get a message saying ‘ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE’.

I am wondering if I need to change the owner of those files and folders? I am guessing that previously they were owned by the user plex and now they are owned by pi ?

If this is the case, what command should I use to run this? Is it chown? And does it go something like this:

sudo chown -r plex “/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server”
