Server Version#: 1.32.7.7621  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>

I have had plexmediaserver running on a fedora linux host for some time. Everything has been working well until that host died.  
I now need to set up on a new host also running fedora.

So far I have relocated all my library files, installed the media server, and am stuck.  
The media server was installed from the rpm file  
plexmediaserver-1.32.7.7621-871adbd44.x86\_64.rpm and is running on the new host

However, I am unable to get the setup wizard to run so I can configure my local libraries. It only provides online streaming at this point.

Any specific things I am missing or suggestions as to what may be improperly configured or otherwise interfering.? I can not see anything online that specifies the older host name for my personal server so configurations there may be an issue but seem not accessible to me.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

My short hostname is ‘raptor’ on the LAN  
With using [http://127.0.0.1:32400](http://127.0.0.1:32400) all I get is a text display of an xml file.  
When using [http://raptor:32400](http://raptor:32400) I get the plex app with streaming content.  
When using the actual IP for raptor (192.168.4.113) I get the same response as when using the localhost IP.  
I never seem to be able to launch the setup wizard to enable configuring the server.

Logfile attached here.

Try [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) or [http://192.168.4.113:32400/web](http://192.168.4.113:32400/web)

Thanks, I missed that in the instructions, and since most of the guides indicated that it should launch the wizard automatically I was stumped.

👍  
Appreciate the suggestion.
