Plex Media Server not install on RN204

ReadyNAS 204 Firmware 6.5.1

It’s happened again. I added some new content to my library then logged on to the RN204 admin page. Clicked the Apps tab, then launched Plex server to review the new content. Plex wouldn’t launch. Switched the Plex App to off and waited for about 5 minutes, then switched it back on. Same thing – plex would not launch. What I mean by it wouldn’t launch is that a separate web page pops up with the dark brown background and nothing else.

So I turned off the plex media server, waited for it to finish, then rebooted the NAS. After the NAS finished booting, logged in and no applications are installed. Plex is gone like it was never there. By the way, Plex is the only app I’ve loaded on the NAS.

So I tried to reinstall PMS, and regardless of the file version I use it fails. In fact none of the PMS files I’ve downloaded will install. Neither ARM 6.X nor ARM 6.X RN2XX.

As a recap, I successfully loaded PMS version RN2XX - 0.9.16.6.1993 a few days ago and it was working fine. After copying data over to the NAS, PMS scanned and cataloged everything. Local and Remote access was working perfectly.

I really would like to avoid another factory reset. Anyone seen this before or have an idea on how to fix? I read in another post that a .pid file needs to be deleted in the apps folder (data\apps\plexmediaserver). If this is what I need to do, what’s a good app that gives root access to the NAS? I downloaded RAIDar, just to check it out, but when I run it I only see my shares.

Thanks
