If anyone out there is a fan of Plex Media Server, I could really use some help on this brain teaser.

https://forums.plex.tv/t/no-soup-for-you-fresh-install/593610 

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2831-181d9145d
OS: CentOS 8, 4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64

This is a plain jane fresh install. I’m not trying to claim or recover anything. I have fully gutted my plex “Authorized Devices”, I have fully deleted plex, and removed all files, I have signed out entirely from the web account, I have signed out of every other portal I can. I have flushed my cache, and even rebooted the server where Plex was installed.

I’m starting fresh.

I go to plex, and download copy the link to the public 64-bit RPM.

$ dnf -y install https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.19.3.2831-181d9145d/redhat/plexmediaserver-1.19.3.2831-181d9145d.x86_64.rpm

everything installs just fine.

systemctl status plexmediaserver: RUNNING (no errors)

(in a private browser): 10.0.20.2:32400/web/

I get immediately forwarded to:

http://10.0.20.2:32400/web/index.html#!/setup/

Prompted to sign in … no issues

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Like I said, I’m not trying to claim a server or anything – fresh install.

I don’t understand what’s going wrong.

P.S. – Been using Plex without issues for 3 years, just decided to do it all over with a dedicated video card, and CentOS 8.
