Amahi Forums

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. No matter what I try I cannot access my Plex Media server from the Dashboard. Each time I try I'm routed to a web page about disabling DHCP on my router and rebooting my clients. Well I've done that it makes no difference. Everything else runs fine from the dashboard. I've tried all the suggested "fixes" from the Wiki including this command through putty: "usermod -a -G users plex". The only problem is I did not setup a root account. I did setup a named account with admin privileges but when I try and use this account it errors back saying "permission denied".

I have rebooted the server several times. Reinstalled Plex, etc. I know very little about Linux. Please help. I have an app I bought that won't work.

Thank you

Can you access it by IP address?

http:192.168.x.x:32400/manage

You might also check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log for errors. It may be that it did not properly install.

Yes!! Thank you! Best news I've had all day!

Is there anyway I can fix the dashboard to run Plex properly?

Please try this:

As root user or privileged user, do: Change localhost to hda in the following:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:32400/web/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:32400/web/

The restart apache: If that does not work, then change hda to the IP address and restart apache.

One of those two methods should make the dashboard link work.

Here is the file as is stands:

[root@localhost conf.d]# vi 1001-plexms.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName plexms
ServerAlias plexms.amahi.net



ProxyPass / http://localhost:32400/web/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:32400/web/

DocumentRoot /var/hda/web-apps/plexms/html

<Directory "/var/hda/web-apps/plexms/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Require all granted

</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/hda/web-apps/plexms/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/hda/web-apps/plexms/logs/access_log combined env=!dontlog

</VirtualHost>
"1001-plexms.conf" 23L, 521C

I saw the entries you wanted added were already in there. So I restarted Apache and I still have the same problem. Does it look OK or should I create a new file with those entries?

Thank you very much for your help. All I need is Plex running properly and I will be a happy and very quiet Amahi user

Please try this:

As root user or privileged user, do:

Code: Select all

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/####-plexms.conf

Change localhost to hda in the following:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:32400/web/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:32400/web/

The restart apache:

Code: Select all

systemctl restart httpd.service

If that does not work, then change hda to the IP address and restart apache.

One of those two methods should make the dashboard link work.

Just to try it I tried to launch Plex with Internet Explorer instead of my default Windows browser Chrome. Plex opened fine. I then cleared my Chrome cache and now Plex opens in it too.

All resolved. Thank you for the help!

Good to hear. One of the first steps I usually recommend is to try a different browser or clear the cache. Guess I forgot to mention that LOL
