500 from API with nothing in logs

[gusty canyon]

Hi! I was working on the API (specifically /api/client/servers/x/resources) but when trying to request it, I get a 500 back. There is nothing in (install location)/storage/logs/laravel-2023-10-11.log. I'm doing the API request with a pterodactyl_session cookie but progrematically using Golang. (It's complicated but I need to do it that way)

[fallen yarrow]

do not use pterodactyl_session but use a bearer token

[gusty canyon]

Like I said, I need to do it this way. And there is no reason it wouldn't work anyway?

[fallen yarrow]

I don't think pterodactyl_session is used anymore, and 500 is internal server error so you send it invalid json or did not specify json but the logs should show that

[gusty canyon]

What do you mean? pterodactyl_session is used? I mean the frontend fetches and sends that cookie. Doing /api/client works just fine. And of course I have Accepts set to JSON. Also in the case of me sending it invalid JSON, shouldn't that be a 400?

[fallen yarrow]

it should not be used more for the api, It does still work but not recommended.

the logs should say something about that and share the request you send

[gusty canyon]

If it shouldn't be used, why does the frontend use it to authenticate itself with the API? And like I said, the logs are empty.

[fallen yarrow]

sessions expire last time I check, api keys don't. Still then show the request you have send. as you are not able ( or there are non as you sas) logs

als this is for #api-and-modding

[gusty canyon]

Um so Automod doesn't like my message with the request..

Yeah they expire, and that is behavior I want in my application. My request is as simple as this:

curl 
  --request GET   
  --url http://localhost:2001/api/client/servers/1aa80c68-84fb-403a-8421-630d35818e61/resources   
  --header 'Accept: application/json'   
  --header 'Cookie: [pterodactyl session cookie redacted]'

It did not like pterodactyl _ session

[gusty canyon]

This is a general help channel.

[fallen yarrow]

most who give support do not even touch those post and just redirect users to the right channel

the Cookie is not realy a header it is a cookie zo in curl that is -b or --cookie not --header

[gusty canyon]

Yeah but cookies are passed as headers to a server? You can send it like that but you can also just use a header.

But sure. I'll use --cookie for you.

Still 500.

[fallen yarrow]

if your panel is on localhost port 2001 some logs should be writen

[gusty canyon]

And if that were the issue, it should've been a 400 or 401 anyway.

[fallen yarrow]

something is wrong on the panel side

[gusty canyon]

[perny@fedora ~]$ cat /home/perny/Documents/pterodactyl/storage/logs/laravel-2023-10-11.log
[perny@fedora ~]$ 

[fallen yarrow]

I get that the log file is empty no worry

[gusty canyon]

It's just pulled from release/v1.11.4

[fallen yarrow]

you run a lot of non default stufff,n non default ports , not default pterodactyl path.

and the panel itself functions fine?

what users owns the storage folder?

[gusty canyon]

perny, but it's 777.

[gusty canyon]

Panel works just fine.

And it's just my workstation Fedora so I just put in Documents.

[fallen yarrow]

try as the docs tels you making it owned by the webserver user. and I do not see fedora on the supported OS list

[gusty canyon]

No. The docs tell you it needs to be 775.

[fallen yarrow]

My bet someone will know in #api-and-modding

but you run

• in a non default dir
• on a non default port
• folder is not owned by the webserver user ( bad for sequrity)
• on a not supported os

[gusty canyon]

I just set it to 777 since there is nothing to execute anyway.

[gusty canyon]

What do you mean by bad for security? The docs tell you to make it 775. So if you fololw the installation guide, every user has access to it anyway.

[fallen yarrow]

but try in #api-and-modding , as that there no logs that is just strange

[fallen yarrow]

I saw that no worry's I have installed the panel many times

[gusty canyon]

But doesn't seem like you understand what's under the hood. I'll move to api and modding.

[fallen yarrow]

I get it, you make an api request to the resource endpoint and it return 500, so 40x = you made a mistake, 500 = server made a mistake

so something is wrong on the server side.

1 last thing, habe you tryed using the short uuid
so for example
"identifier": "1a7ce997",
"internal_id": "1a7ce997-259b-452e-8b4e-cecc464142ca",

have you tryed using 1a7ce997 instad of 1a7ce997-259b-452e-8b4e-cecc464142ca

so for you 1aa80c68

[gusty canyon]

Frontend uses the internal ID when calling the API. But I tried with identifier and it returned the same error.

[fallen yarrow]

fine, just wanted to check

[gusty canyon]

also it's 4xx and 5xx not 40x since there are more than 10 client side errors :)

But I might've possibly found the issue. Wings currently cannot contact Pterodactyl (only the other way around) due to an issue with my infrastructure. That could be the reason for the error.
