    Hello all I'm trying to run a Plex server inside of ISPConfig 3. I followed Hitesh tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/install-plex-media-server-on-ubuntu-2004/ and installed in on https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/.
    Everything went well up to the point of Access Plex Media Server. When I enter my address plex.xxxxxxx.com it shows the ngnix default page. I know I have to point a config to the ISPConfig config for that site but not sure what or how to go about it.
    Can either of you please help point me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    I read now that Hitesh tutorial. It does not say Plex can be installed as website in ISPConfig or on an ISPConfig system. And I doubt it would be possible.
    Why not follow the tutorial, and use Ubuntu (or Debian), and install Plex there?
    Who are these two people you refer to there?

    The tutorial is indeed not meant to be used on an ISPConfig server. As far as I can see, the nginx vhost is just used to proxy traffic to plex which listens on 127.0.0.1:32400 , so it might work to use an ISPConfig website instead of that nginx vhost and add proxy directives in the nginx or apache directives field to redirect traffic that reaches this website to plex.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear in explaining what I want to do or did. So the Plex is outside of ISPConfig and what I want to do is point the ISPConfig site to the Plex site but I'm not sure what proxy directives to use or how to use it
