Then stay at 5154 for now and check the health of your database file:
activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
quit Plex Server
wait 1 minute
start Plex Server
wait 5 minutes
fetch log files and attach them here
Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log
file and seek for messages about database corrupt
or malformed
