Plex: library empty after upgrade

Hey guys!

Today I decided to upgrade my plexserver installation (was running a pre 1.x build) to the latest package. I removed the existing version by running this:

apt-get purge openmediavault-plexmediaserver
apt-get purge plexmediaserver
usrdel plex

Because I figured it might be better to do a clean installation, but it might be here things went wrong.

After that I installed the most recent package in the repo (1.0.3.2461). I enabled it in the OMV web interface and saw that the "Database Folder" there was pointing to the correct location (/media/UUID/plexmediaserver), however once I navigated to the plex web page it wanted to configure itself as a fresh installation with a new library.

I'm a little scared to poke around on my own and have things overwritten by accident, so I thought I'd ask some advice on what to check here first.

Thanks in advance!

Ended up poking. Slightly. I *thin* this is were things are wrong:

File /etc/default/plexmediaserver

# default script for Plex Media Server


# the number of plugins that can run at the same time
PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS=6


# ulimit -s $PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_STACK_SIZE
PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_STACK_SIZE=3000


# where the mediaserver should store the transcodes
PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_TMPDIR=/tmp


# uncomment to set it to something else
# PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="${HOME}/Library/Application\ Support"


# the user that PMS should run as, defaults to 'plex'
# note that if you change this you might need to move
# the Application Support directory to not lose your
# media library
PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=plex

Am I wrong to think I should uncomment PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR line and make sure the path is pointing to my original folder?

I used the Plugins system in the webinterface to install the new package, so I'm thinking yes? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling in the webinterface but with the same result.

Managed to fix the issue. Not sure what it was though, but things are working again.

- uninstalled Plex
- renamed the /media/UUID/plexmediaserver folder to plexmediaserver_backup
- reinstalled Plex, select correct database volume. Enabled Plex. It created a new plexmediaserver folder.
- disable Plex
- copied all content from "plexmediaserver_backup/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server" to the new "plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server"
- enable Plex

Dancing ensued.
