So we need to give that user access to your files. PMS runs as it’s own user (surprisingly a user called plex), not you by default.

File permissions and access: Our first big problem (although it’s not really) is to allow Plex to access any of our files.

Stop the PlexMediaServer (preferably log in with a terminal):.

Run at least once the PlexMediaServer (and do nothing, just run once), from any browser in your network enter.

NOTE: If you get an error with the above command while connected to the server with SSH through a terminal, it seems you have to relogin as root. Sudo systemctl enable rvice & systemctl start plexmediaserver

Sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-x.x.x.
