Server Version#:1.15.6.1079-78232c603
Player Version#:
So I upgraded, plex wont start now, and I will rebuild a brand new Ubuntu server and install the old plex and it wont work either… How on earth did I get like this 
I am running latest Ubuntu in a VMware instance, and just trying to get latest PMS installed… Wont start. I dont care about any preferences saved or anything, i mapped /media to have my NAS files mapped and I will point my PMS libraries there once I get this thing running again, config will just take a second, just want it back up and running
I tried this… Not getting anything…

look in /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support
If those files are your username and group, then you need a customization override
- Look at the file for anything which looks unique to you.
- Delete /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.
- Create the new override in /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf
It looks like this:
Copy to clipboard
# Change Plex default variables
[Service]
User=YourUsernameHere
Group=YourGroupHere
#
# put other changed **Variables**here (UMask, TMPDIR, etc)
#
- Save the file (will be owned by root)
- systemctl daemon-reload
- systemctl restart plexmediaserver
sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver
