[CLOSED - beyond redemption] Plex Server Does not Respond to Http Requests

I posted over at the Plex forum, but got no love, so I will try my luck here.

QNAP TS-459 Pro II
Server Version#: V1.13.5.291
Player Version#:

QNAP OS firmware: 4.2.6

Plex has been installed as an app in the App Centre. V1.13.5.291

It has been quite a while since I tried to access it via the web interface (192.168.1.30:32400/web), and when I went to load it today, it just responds with a Unable to Connect message in the browser.

So, not http response at all.

I have tried to reboot the NAS, but that does not help.

Not sure what info I need to provide to help trouble shoot this, so please let me know and I’ll do it.

Thanks

Hi Yes, the Web server is running and I can access the NAS via the browser.

Listening on port 8080.

OK. Sure.

If I go to the Application area in the menu and click on the Webserver item, the view which loads indicates that the webserver is running.
I've never actually used this feature. Never deployed any files to the Web share.

Still getting no result here.

Have tried loading 192.168.1.30:32400, both with an without https.

It simple does not load. I tried hitting it with curl to garner some more information. This is the output:
curl "http://192.168.1.30:32400/" -H "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Nexus 5 Build/MRA58N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Mobile Safari/537.36"
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.1.30 port 32400: Connection refused
Not even a 404 or 500 response. Ever so weird.

I am having a similar issue, did you get this resolved?

Launching Plex from the NAS desktop results in error "Safari can't open the page ... because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "xxxxxx".

This means that I cannot configure Plex.

I also have a Raumfeld Connector attached via ethernet and it can see the NAS, but cannot see the Music files.

Clearly some sort of communication error, but I cannot see what settings need to be adjusted. My Samsung TV picks up the music files ok.

In your NAS Control panel > system > general > select "enable secure connection" and "force secure connection" and give this a go.

I've just managed to get the Plex web page up from running the app on the NAS. It wasn't accepting secure connections, so I unticked these options on the NAS and gained access to Plex. I then changed the secure server settings in Plex to "required" and reset the NAS secure connections and all was well again.

Hi GymNAStic,

Alas, that did not fix things for me. I'm really confused. Plex was meant to "just work" and it just doesn't.

The QNAP TS-459 Pro II is one of the expensive models too, which really rubs salt into the wounds :(

Your best bet would be to post your issue in the Plex forums / server-Qnap section

This can be closed. Installed Plex on a Windows 2019 Server which I recently built.

All up and running and integrated with my living room speakers.

QNAP is focusing on it core function of serving up files.
