Could not start Jellyfin server process - BigHungryChicken - 2024-07-11

I had a look around and found a few people with this issue where they deleted the xml files in C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config where the files were regenerated upon restarting Jellyfin but the files did not regenerate for me (I created backups of the files) and the server will still not start I even tried running the installer for Jellyfin again but it didn't work

Your data files are located in your user directory instead of ProgramData.

C:\Users\lukew\AppData\Local\Jellyfin

There should be a config directory in that path with a bunch of XMLs. migrations.xml is probably null. Delete it and restart jellyfin.
