'--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign

Server Version#: PlexMediaServer-1.18.4.2171-ac2afe5f8-x86_64
Player Version#: Windows Plex Media Player Version 3.104.2

A few weeks back Plex notified me that the database was corrupted, I thought I would take the weekend to run through the fixes here I ran through and after having no luck I thought best bet would be to uninstall and start from scratch. I uninstalled Plex via the webui on the NAS which failed due to a timeout. I had copied the uninstall script from the folder already so I just ran that via SSH.

I have subsequently tried to install plex via the webui, which meanders on for a little while before saying installed, Plex does not open up despite both service and NAS restarts. I have now uninstalled PLex and found some instructions here around installing via SSH, so have tried that.

It produces this error-

I have checked and the port is still in use by Plex but, the folders don’t exist and it remains after restart, I am stuck I don’t know what to do.

With the service stopped after reboot,
Open a SSH session to the QNAP.

lsof -i:32400 -P -n

You can cycle through the various Plex ports if you need to find out what’s blocking the startup.

What network ports do I need to allow through my firewall? | Plex Support

Rename the folder /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Library to /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Library.old if it exists

Reboot QNAP, and then reinstall on top of the existing one, and report back

So the install still reports “Installed” in the webui but, I am unable to access Plex via the local ip:32400/web address, plex is reported as running on lsof on both ipv4 and 6, my router only supports ipv4 so no ipv6 address to try either.

As I am having trouble now installing a “Container Station” update I am going to factory reset the NAS and fall back to my on-site backup whilst the NAS rebuilts.

Thank you for the assistance in any event

EDIT - I manually deleted the entire Plex folder after the install failed 1st time round, on each subsequent install I have used the .uninstall.sh script to remove everything else as the gui reports “removed” but leaves artifacts everywhere.
