Server stuck on "Updating library, please wait...", won't run

Server Version#:1.24.5.5173
Player Version#:4.29.2

so, i lost power in a wind storm yesterday. computer rebooted, plex server launched at boot as normal, and ran as normal. i tried to watch a movie on my TV and it just got stuck buffering and became unresponsive. turn the server off and back on, same result. gave up, went to bed. got to work the next morning and opened plex on my phone and was connected to the server as normal, but was getting the same buffering issues on audio files and realized something was very wrong with plex. got home from work, reboot my computer and instead of the server running as normal when it tried to launch it got stuck on a popup window saying ā€œupdating library, please waitā€¦ā€ and would go no further. i tried running the most recent server install file and doing a ā€˜repair’. nothing. uninstalled. installed a previous version of the server (1.24.3.5033), still nothing. reinstalled the most recent and still stuck on the updating library message. server is now totally unreachable, won’t launch at all. thoughts? i don’t know anything about logs… if attaching one would be helpful can you let me know how to locate it?
