Ok, I’ve now tried both installing plexpy via the dashboard as well as from terminal “box install plexpy”…
All I get in return is a 503 Service Unavailable…
htop confirms plexpy is running, so any ideas would be awesome… thanks!
14 views and no one is using plexpy or have any ideas?
Hello @DonJuanZA,
Do you access to PlexPy at https://YourServerIP/plexpy ?
Do you have any error in the PlexPy log ? (/opt/plexpy/logs/plexpy.log)
Mine is working well.
Thanks for replying…

ok… so we have a permission issue on a default install {both web and terminal} … any ideas on how to sort it in the intended way?

seems the permissions is all over the show…
EDIT: added new tags to discussion
Could you use sudo to tail/cat the log file ?
Because Quickbox script creates a non-root user during the installation (master I guess for your case)
So there is no error in your log file.
I looked into my server and I have the same rights regarding PlexPy directory and PlexPy is working for me.
Maybe some issues with the web server, do you have plexpy.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ?
[master@blaster]:(4.4kb)/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ ls
aliases-seedbox.conf default-ssl.conf fileshare.conf plex.conf plexpy.conf sickrage.conf sonarr.conf master.console.conf
[master@blaster]:(4.4kb)/etc/apache2/sites-enabled$ cat plexpy.conf
<Location /plexpy>
ProxyPass http://localhost:8181/plexpy
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8181/plexpy
AuthType Digest
AuthName "rutorrent"
AuthUserFile '/etc/htpasswd'
Require user master
</Location>
seems so…
Yes.
Did you restart the server since the QuickBox installation ?
Your others applications are ok ? (sonarr, sickrage, etc.)
sonarr is playing ping pong with itself, have not yet been able to get that working… plex,rtorrent,irssi,sickrage,webconsole seems to be working fine, some better than others…
and yes, i have restarted server since i installed plexpy, both web and terminal
anyone else have any ideas?
@PastaGringo @dtech_banned @Globber any ideas? People are starting to use my server and I would love to have the stats running…
Do you tried to uninstall PlexPy from the dashboard and reinstall it from shell with : box install plexpy ?
That I have done… Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling from shell on its own…
Strange… Try to reinstall QB on VPS (for free at https://dply.co/) and compare differences between your install and the new fresh one.
no difference, not working…
can someone share all relevant config files so i can compare?

Why is apache saying it is bad, is that the problem? I haven’t done any manual changes to anything…
Found one of the issues… the menu link on the left is pointing to /plexpy which doesn’t work… should point to :8181 and then it starts up…
This after more restarts and terminal install/removes and who knows what else… And yes, I did try only :8181 before…
This is a pain in the ass because the absolute definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, but that is exactly what was needed in this case…
