IP of FreeNas is xxx.xxx.xxx.50

IP of the Jail is xxx.xxx.xxx.51

In the installed tab it says "Service Status: ON"

when I click plexMediaServer disable security is checked and it says click Here to go open your PlexMediaServer

when i open the link the page doesn't load

Make sure that the plex jail is running. (try restarting it if it is)

 

Try unchecking VIMAGE (in the jail's advanced settings).

(Notice: tried posting to the freeNas forums but it doesn't work for some reason their forums doesn't work on any of my devices.) Hi, I recently tried to install Plex on my FreeNas Virtual Machine (running on an ubuntu, used as server-more details below) and I followed many different guides and every time, when i go to launch the Web GUI, the page just doesn't load.  
This was my process:
Install Freenas on a virtual machine.  Everything works great!
Reinstall...
Reinstall...
Reinstall...
And still, nothing works
Server Details:
Spoiler
Details:
Using Ubuntu as a Host Machine and running FreeNas on VirtualBox with 3 hard drives: 1x5GB 2x250GB
 
Other Info:
FireFly is installed and works perfectly fine...

What's the IP address of the jail that your Plex plugin is running in? 

 

Is the Plex plugin running? Go to the plugins tab (on the top) > installed. Is the plex service turned on? 

 

On the left side-bar, expand plugins, and then click plexmediaserver. then open the link. What shows up?

I unchecked VIMAGE and restarted the jail and the Plex Service and that seemed to work! thanks for your help!
