I have free Plex on my server. Every time I turn off my PC & turn it back on & try to run Plex. I get msg Server Unavailable.  
Only way to solve this is to uninstall & reinstall the Plex software? Any solutions for this problem?

I tried your first suggestion [http://Your-PC-IP-Address:32400/web](http://Your-PC-IP-Address:32400/web) & it does not find anything. I did zip the log files but can’t seem to attach the file to this message. I click on attack file icon & nothing happens…

Ok when I type in  
I get:  
Server Not Found  
Firefox can’t find the server at your-pc-ip-address.  
Check the address for typing errors such as [ww.example.com](http://ww.example.com) instead of [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)  
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.  
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

But here is the good news I figured out the problem. For some reason Plex was disabled in the startup. I enabled it & now when I shut down or restart computer Plex can be run normally without having to uninstall & reinstalling the software.
