Server settings are unavailable!

I get the message “Server settings are unavailable.” when i go to Settings -> Server. This apparently started after the latest update. How do I fix this?

Did you update from a quite old server version?
It appears your server is signed into a different plex.tv account than what you are using in your web browser. Nowadays, only the server owner gets access toi the settings. Therefore both the web browser and the server need to be using the same plex.tv account.

If you can’t remember the old plex account anymore, use this procedure to delete it from your server and bring it over to your currently used Plex account:

I created a thread about this. Once upgraded to version 5208, I got this.
Uninstall and go back a version and all is good again, but check your shares with friends as they all were removed.

I kept it pretty up to date. Check in every few months or so.
I tried the guide you posted, but it just made everything in my library “unwatched”.
Tried repair via the installer. Tried uninstall and reinstall. And removing %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server.

Then I tried this guide:

Important step in this guide:
Delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc. registry key.

This is probably more of a nuclear option, but it worked. Thanks for the quick respons. :slight_smile:
