I don't think that this conf file is a problem.
It's enough to restart httpd service and everything is working without changes.
The problem is I have to restart this service every time I restart (reboot) my amahi machine.

Seems like this virtualhost with redirection:

Code: Select all

ProxyPass / http://hda:32400/manage/ ProxyPassReverse / http://hda:32400/manage/
is not implemented when httpd service is started.

Regards.

Here's an unsupported work around.

We are still investigating the problem.

bigfoot65, yes, I know there is a workaround, and my comment was to that wiki article.
As I mentioned, to workaround the problem, one does not have to change the ####-plexms.conf file.
It is enough to restart the httpd service.

That makes sense. Since the proxy pass is failing anyway, it's just picking up the index.html file from the working directory. It is not enough to just restart the service and nothing else. It is enough to add the file, and restart the service. At least with my install (Amahi 7.1 express on Fedora 19). I needed to add the index.html file.

I didn't add the index.html file, and restart does help on my amahi7.1 on fedora 19 installation.
But as I said earlier, the problem is I have to restart the httpd service every time I reboot my amahi box.

Cool. I'm happy with my work around for now. It works for me and I no longer worry about not being able to connect to my Plex. I also have been restarting my HDA frequently, as I'm refining some other parts of the server.

Glad to know this may be actually resolved by pursuing why it is not loading when httpd is started at boot.

Hmmm. This problem has stopped for me, but I am unable to pinpoint why. Recently my Plex server went down. I'm not sure why but no amount of restarting the service or restarting my whole HDA could bring it back. I then un-installed the Plex media server through the Amahi apps web interface. Rebooted my machine. Noticed some Fedora updates needed installing. Installed those. Rebooted. Installed Plex again using the Amahi apps web interface. After this re-install Plex has been working as it should. When I click on the icon in the dashboard it takes me to http://plexms.heritage.com/. This reloads to http://plexms.heritage.com/index.html#!/dashboard which actually displays my Plex server. This is my fourth Plex install and the first time it has worked. That URL has never worked before. I always had to go to http://hda:32400/web/index.html#!/dashboard

So, perhaps the updates? Unfortunately I was on the server through GNOME, there was 290 updates and I just installed them. Poor practice I now, but too many to remember what happened.

Good to hear.

Part of the reason things are working better are that we no longer use the Plex RPM from the web page. We have our own amahi-plex which removes dependency issues we had with DLNA.

The updates may have helped with the URL issue as there have been several updates surrounding the web server.

I still have a very similar problem.
I have installed plex from the app-store on 05/05/2014.
I then installed some more apps and encountered strange dns behaviour. They were solved after a yum -y update.

From the dashboard, the link http://plexms.at.home/ brings me to http://plexms.at.home/index.html which is a sign in/sign up screen. Signing in, I find a plex client not connected to my plex server. I still don't really understand where this comes from.
Using the url http://hda:32400/manage, I am redirected to http://hda:32400/web/index.html where my server and its files are visible.

The links on the dashboard for the other apps are working well.
The behaviour is the same with FF or IE.

I didn't implement any workaround, as this is a limited (but annoying) issue but hopefully it might help getting to the cause of the issue.

This continues to be a sporadic problem for which we have not found a permanent solution or the root cause. You can edit the .conf file, located in /etc/httpd/conf.d for Plex Media Server. Commend out the 2 ProxPass lines and uncomment the other 3 below it. Then restart httpd.

This is a temporary fix for now, but seems to work for most. Ensure you browser cache is cleared as well.
