Plexpy Killed Plex? :(

Was trying to install plexpy via the webui and now plex is unreachable and i recieve this error when i try to apply config changes in webui. Reboot doesn't fix. Help?! Might also possibly be related to a manual server update i did on plex a day or two ago?

Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; update-rc.d 'plexmediaserver' disable 2>&1': update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting! update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing

Followed the instructions in the webui.

no.. it was a .deb package. it installed fine and was running perfectly fine. And running "/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start" from command line works to start it. just won't start on boot.

... there's no way that's acceptable. does anyone else have any suggestions?

Hope you picked the right package, if you pick the ubuntu one that doesn't work with debian.

well... like i said.. it installed. and is currently being played from. so... why, if i chose the wrong one which i dled directly from plex itself within my nas not via the site, would it be working?

so how about we go on the assumption i installed the correct one. can we try and fix the plexpy issue? thanks.

yes. it exists.

I've never gotten an error when i run it manually. It doesn't run at boot at all. I'm trying to install plexpy which is what caused the error itself.

Go back to the web interface now, disable the plex, does the error comes again?

i actually did those commands you said and went to enable plexpy. it hung at the apply config step but eventually went through. but going to that port shows a 400 error (possibly something to do with SSL connection which is what showed up when i googled it).

EDIT: plex starts up properly on reboot. so now i only need to get plexpy working. any thoughts?

the "oh it's just not going to work properly because.. because" is not acceptable. especially the "i don't have any other suggestions".

i appreciate help but that post was pointless and useless. so yes. downvote.

I actually solved the plex not restarting with the above defaults update to update-rc. And I also got plexpy to work for anything looking / having the same issue.

It seemed to be an issue with an invalid cookie named generated somewhere along the line. I edited the file "/usr/lib/python2.7/Cookie.py" searched for LegalChars and added \ to it (based on the advice of this post).

PlexPy

But I stopped halfway through the post. Once I added that I did "service plexpy stop" and "service plexpy start" and it worked on the port set up by OMV. And it all worked.
