One little correction: http://your-server-ip:32400 should actually be http://your-server-ip:32400/web , else all you'll see is some xml stuff :)

Nora is correct.  http://your-server-ip:32400 returns an XML file.  I've had this both times I've installed Plex on different servers a few months apart.  http://your-server-ip:32400/web results in the expected start page.

Hi

Good instructions. However, how do I add my media folders? I do not know how to add my own libraries including

/Media/Movies

/Media/Music

/Media/TV Shows

There is nothing in the menu to add a library.

You are missing a very important part of the installation. you need to initially connect to your server using an SSH tunnel using 127.0.0.1 in order to register the server with plex.tv website, otherwise it does not show up when you later connect directly.
