SOLVED: Plex-You do not have permission to access this server.

[kiniku70]

I recently had to re-install Amahi from scratch. I also successfully reinstalled my Plex Media server. I had to reset my password and was finally able to login to the "new" server with my old credentials but now I receive this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I had to reset my password and was finally able to login to the "new" server with my old credentials but now I receive this error.

What error? I did not see anything in the post.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to get it to come up before, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly how and right now I'm stuck not able to access it...

@bigfoot65 The error referred to is simply "You do not have permission to access this server." I guess that's not technically an "error", but it is certainly an issue.

Here's a screenshot. The url is http://plexms.home.org/index.html. home.org being my amahi server domain.

OK, I figured out a workaround. I certainly wouldn't call it a solution, but it works.

1. Download Plex Server and install on the computer you are using.
2. Make sure you are connected to your home network and can access http://hda/
3. Open "Media Manager" for the plex server on your current computer.

At this point a browser window should open and you should see your Amahi server listed in the left column as one of your servers and you should now be able to manage it.

Hope this helps!

I would recommend you try the URL http://plexms.home.org/manage/.

The work around is a bit extreme. We need to find the issue and correct it.

http://plexms.home.org/manage/ gave me a 404 error. Thanks for helping with this. I'm somewhat lost as to what the problem could be as I don't really know the ins and outs of Plex and Amahi.

Try the Plex Media Server guidance.

This worked! I had read the wiki page before, but for some reason I missed this before.
