Server Unreachable in 10.15 Catalina

My server is unreachable locally or over the internet. Even on the Mac hosting the server, the library cannot be accessed.

Server Version#:1.18.0.1913

Hello is your media on an external drive?
Were you running Mojave and Plex before?

Same problem. I see a dramatic CPU use of the plex media server, but no way to connect to it.

Downgrade to 1.17 works for me.

Yes media is on an external volume. Was running 10.14 and Plex without issue. Did a clean install of 10.15 and let my new PMS installation rescan my library, which it did without issue.

There’s a new security feature in Catalina for external media according to this article.

Okay, but may I just clarify please are you still having the issue “My server is unreachable locally or over the internet?”

If so would you confirm that you used Safari on the Mac running PMS to do this:

Let us know how you get along.

Still unreachable. Plex was given permission to access external volumes when I had added my media to my build my library.

Okay will you screenshot what you see when you use

https://127.0.0.1:32400/web

and also when you try this

https://app.plex.tv/desktop

Are you comfortable with the macOS Terminal?

No problem using terminal

Sorry, I’ve figured it out. Of course the old server was unreachable cause it no longer exists. I failed to notice as the new one has the same name.
