I am new to Plex, but recently decided to set something up. Initially, I decided on a home based setup using a Dell R710, but I got to thinking, why not spin up a VPS with Rackspace or AWS? So, having a Rackspace account already, I did just that. Now I have decently sized server running CentOS 7 and installed PMS. Everything was going well. Got my Plex account setup and went to the URL of the PMS and it is not finding any server.

“A server could not be found. Download and install Plex Media Server, and it will appear here.”

Isn’t that what I just did? What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

See the section on _Opening the Plex Web App on a Device Other than the Server Itself_ in [the documentation](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288586-Installation "the documentation").
