I did everything and it was successful! or “ok”! I like to be pushed out of my comfort zone. I had not done that before and now I have a “little” better understanding of what goes on behind the curtains! Thank you. super cool tool!
I go to run PMS and it starts to run and then quits to “manually stopped”. I have tried to hit run like 6 times and it wont work. I removed the repair tool files after the first fail. Do i need to redo iit?
@ChuckPa - It’s refusing connection. I went back in through the tool and did it all again. this time I hit 7 to have it run and then “exit”.
I have checked every setting and I tried to connect locally (manually). I’m afraid to stop it for that it won’t start.
You ran the tool as a username other than root , didn’t you?

On DSM 7, PlexMediaServer is very fragile.
Use this procedure to reset the permissions (complete with screenshots and the commands to paste into task scheduler)
It will take time to complete.
When you receive the email of successful completion – THEN start PMS.
I switched up the the user settings to open up SSH. I activated the admin and then gave permissions to the shared folder. It gave me a ton of warnings about security so I changed the password of admin. I might have changed my user settings then. (I don’t think I did though).
I switched them up about 6 weeks ago when all this started. I wont again!
FYI. ‘admin’ is NOT ‘root’ . ‘admin’ is a normal username which Synology marks with special privileges in their apps. In real Linux, it’s another non-privileged user just like ‘plex’.
You need ‘root’ when do you do this sort of thing.
I tried to optimize and got the same error. I have attached the logs. All of the DBRepair is still in the folder. Do I pull it out? Should i try the repair again?
having this exact same issue and gave up. Tried as my personal administrator account, also tried as the synology default one (this is admin which I’ve disabled under every day use).
Either way, the db permissions get baulked and plex will not start.
I think maybe the problem lies in the fact we cannot use SSH as root with these devices.
You can use an admin account and raise priviliges, but this seems to leave the db with incorrect permissions after the repair.
