Hello All,
Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to access the PMS log files and download into a file?
Thank you,

If you are running OS6, then you can access them with Windows File Explorer or Finder (using SMB).
They are stored in \\NASIPADDRESS\data\.apps\plexmediaserver\MediaLibrary\Plex Media Server\Logs (where NASIPADDRESS is of course a placeholder). If you use flexraid, "data" might also be a placeholder (it is the default volume name for the NAS).
You need to be using NAS admin credentials to gain access. if you have a problem (and are using windows), then try opening cmd and entering
net use * / delete
net use t: " \\NASIPADDRESS\data\.apps\plexmediaserver\MediaLibrary\Plex Media Server\Logs" /user:admin NASADMINPASSWORD
That should mount the log folder on drive letter t.
Once you see the folder, you can copy the logs, zip them, etc.

Re: Plex Media Server log files
You have been the most helpful person on the internet. Thank you very much. Now that I am able to see my logs, I am not sure what i am looking for. I am trying to figure out why my PMS is no longer loading up my libraries but is wanting me to set every up again. I am glad that you got me to this part though.
Thank you very much!
