    Make sure that the plex jail is running. (try restarting it if it is)
     
    Try unchecking VIMAGE (in the jail's advanced settings).

    mider reacted to Brenz in PhP file read error   
    You are only using a single equals sign, this means you are trying to set 
    fread($currentStream,filesize("control/current.txt")) to be netflix which obviously you cannot do.
     
    In an IF statement you can either use two or three equals signs.
    Two will compare ignoring the case so an integer could equal a string like 2 == '2'.
    Three will only be true if the type and value match so 2 === 2 is true, 2 === '2' is false and '2' === '2' would be true.
     
    Then your string needs to be wrapped in quotes or it won't work.
     
    So in your case it should be:
     
    if (fread($currentStream,filesize("control/current.txt")) === "netflix") ?>

    Also, in the picture that you showed, you don't see any sata ports because the circuit board is plugged into it.  The all of the screws out of the bottom of it, making sure that you don't take out any hex or torx screws.  had this same problem with my old NAS drive that had actually been dropped and broken.  Exact same procedure to remove it form the SATA controller board

    well that means you dont have the correct name for the server file...
     
    find where the server.jar is, right click, properties, copy the file location
     
    then in your batch file instead of writing minecraft_server.1.8.8(1).jar put
    "thefilelocation/thefilename.jar"
     
    make sure that you use a forward slash, and that the name of the file is correct
    also include the quotes
     
    then save and try again,see if ti finds the file this time
