When running Plex Media Server on Ubuntu the system is managed using systemctl.

The Webmin module gives this error:

The Plex server rc file /etc/init/plexmediaserver.conf was not found on your system. Maybe Plex is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect.

Please advise if there is a way to make your PMS webmin module work with systemctl.

thanks!

    Hi, this rc file check if for Plex installation verify purposes, however you can try search and point to another Plex related config file(the path may differ per distro) and the module should work.

    If the Plex module still can't work for you, please let me know your Ubuntu flavor/version so I can have a quick check for.

    Regards

    Thanks... I pointed the module at the PID file and that worked:
    /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plexmediaserver.pid

    I was thinking Preferences.xml was an option, but not sure if the module does anything to the file...?

      I believe you can use the Preferences.xml as well, as the config check is not tied to an extension IIRC.

      Regards

        Hi.

        Debian 13:
        Full path to Plex program:
        /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
        Full path to Plex RC file:
        /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
        Full path to Plex PID file:
        /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plexmediaserver.pid

        And with this works like charm.
