PS - You won't have lost anything, as the installer doesn't delete your files. There are really only 3 things you need to care about and modify to point to a new location if you have things installed. /usr/local/plexmediaserver/Library (this stores your media database) /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver (just edit this text file to change the path) /usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service (just edit this text file to change the path) That should be all you would have to do manually if you "upgraded" with this source. Just restart the service and it will look exactly the same

I'm sorry about your issues. I guess I should have told you to simply copy your /usr/local/plexmediaserver/Library directory to /opt/plexmediaserver if you were going to upgrade. And I supposed edit the startup script. .. I did post that's all the difference that I changed with this and the previous version. But yes.. sorry, you should uninstall first. Then reinstall. This is my first time at maintaining a package and I am making obvious newb mistakes. I would be happy to step down if someone else wants to take over. Apparently there weren't any volunteers before.

@tmoore WTF man? I spent 2 hours configuring my plex media server last night, and now you changed the location and all the configuration is lost, I have to do it all over again. That's not fair! It's my time you're wasting with radical changes like this. At least create a script to copy the files from /usr/local/plexmediaserver to the /opt/plexmediaserver location, and remove the /usr/local/plexmediaserver folder after that. Not to mention that the server won't autostart anymore with systemctl enable/start command... wtf? I had to go to /opt/plexmediaserver and start it manually from the start.sh file.
