Trouble claiming plex server hosted using freenas plugin(iocage)

Hello, I’ve setup the plex plugin with freenas before, literally a week ago, and it was working perfectly. I needed to start fresh and create a new plex server in order to change where the iocage dataset was located in my pools. Made the server just as I did before and everything seems to work correctly. I can ping in and out from the jail so there is no network issues(I think). The problem is when going to http://10.0.2.10:32400 on my desktop, it asks for me to sign in and then takes me to the homepage where it says looking for server for several seconds and then only shows my friends servers. I have since tried solutions such as clearing All authorized devices in settings, deleting the preferences.xml file from the server, reinstalling the server multiple times on new iocage pools, manually creating a plex server in a jail without the plugin, and reinstalling freenas. Every time I can connect to the address but am given no prompt to setup/claim the server.

These posts seem to have the exact issue, with several replies sharing the issue, however there was no solution yet:

I am a pretty new to using command line but if walked through I can provide any logs needed.
Thank you for reading and if you have a possible solution please share! :smiley:

Have the same problem here, it seems that the server’s ip is forwarded to the plex.tv website for login, and fails to get back to the local GUI so you can not register the server itself.

just solved it myself

locate:

/iocage/jails/plex/root/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
