Server crashes immediately every time

I can’t provide logs because it’s not even open half a second. I see a flash in the top bar and a brief triangle under the app in the dock then they are gone - nothing.

I’ve always run my Plex server from a Windows comp but was trying to use a Mac to host and this is frustrating me beyond belief. I have to be missing something obvious but it’s stumped me for way too long

Edit – it opens on a guest profile but immediately crashes on the admin profile, which baffles me even more

You can retrieve logs here

Windows

On Windows, the content is located inside of the user directory.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server

macOS

Using the Finder’s “Go” menu, select Go To Folder… then enter the following in the dialog box that pops up:

~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server

Edited after correction

On Macs logs are not with other server data. They are in

~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server

Often crashes are due to a DB corruption so you might try to restore a database backup
