At your service, @random trail!

The IP address you have assigned to your server is not actually available for use on your machine. Node allocation creation is explained in the Wings install documentation: https://pterodactyl.io/wings/1.0/installing.html#node-allocations

Execute the command hostname -I | awk '{print $1}' and change your Node allocations to use this IP. Yes, it can be your internal/local IP when you're behind NAT. When behind NAT you will allocate the internal IP and connect using the public IP.

If you have added multiple public IPs to your network interface, you can view all of them using the command ip a | grep "inet "

read…

#

“Unable to access jarfile server.jar”

#

you probably didn’t specify the right jar path or name

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:10 AM

#

cosmic leaf read…

im not dense, the panel is meant to download it from the details i put in, i have done it in the past

#

but it isnt pulling the server jar from online

#

so idk what to do

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:10 AM

#

which egg are you using?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

the one that came with the panel

hallow yoke Oct 31, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

Look at the install logs to find out what went wrong. .logs in #egg-help will give you the command.

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

hallow yoke Look at the install logs to find out what went wrong. ``.logs`` in <#40410568333...

will try get it now

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

if this is a new server first thing i’d try is reinstall, typically when you use the forge egg the startup script looks a bit different than what you have

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:13 AM

random trail i have a new error container@pterodactyl~ Server marked as starting... [Pterodac...

was it originally vanilla and you changed it to forge?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

i have fully reinstalled the panel and os

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

cosmic leaf was it originally vanilla and you changed it to forge?

no, i have done forge servers in the past fine

#

didnt make one for a month, come back and its not working

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

you don’t need to reinstall the panel or os that is the issue it’s specifying the jar

#

are the files there at least?

#

like the default ones

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

some are

#

not sure if its all though

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

also what version are you trying to install

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

1.20.1-47.2.0

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

mc version not forge version ^

#

okie

#

do you have a forge-xxxx-installer.jar?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

i dont believe i need that for the server

#

the egg pulls everything i need from online

#

should do anyway

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

well that’s typically included with the egg which is why i asked

#

depending on which version, for 1.20.1 at least not 100% sure abt below that

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

yea

#

also how do i get the error log thing that guy asked for before??

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:18 AM

#

well that’s for the installation process which really won’t give you much detail as it didn’t actually fail it’s just not working properly

#

do you have a path that’s something like

libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.7

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:18 AM

#

not sure

#

where do i check?

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

in the server panel

#

like the file explorer

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

#

jus this

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

yes open libraries

#

and let me see what’s in there

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

okay open net

#

then minecraftforge

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

#

#

#

is it this top one you were on abt??

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

yes

#

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

i dont have the server.jar tho

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

this is the server jar… server.jar is just an arbitrary name but this is the file you are looking for

#

java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.7/unix_args.txt "$@"

#

your startup should look like that but change the version to whatever yours is

#

do you know how to change the startup script in the admin panel?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

yea

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

okay change it to that and try it

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

i dont have that top file though is what i mean

#

isnt that what ur on abt?

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

cosmic leaf java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.20.1-47.3.7/unix_a...

look at this, it doesn’t specify the jar. It specifies that unix_args file in that directory

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

alr

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

so as long as you didn’t mess with that or the jvm file in the root directory it should work

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

cosmic leaf do you know how to change the startup script in the admin panel?

turns out i dont

#

i thought you meant changing the server.jar file name

#

mb

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

https://yourdomain.com/admin/servers

#

go there but for your panel

#

the click ur server

#

then startup

#

and copy what i sent and replace the one that’s there now

#

and change it to the minecraft & forge version you have

#

that you saw in the path

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

alr, will do that now

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

and press update build configuration

#

or save modifications not update build config

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

did something new

#

but still not working

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

send screeenshot

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:31 AM

#

#

just more errors 😭

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:32 AM

#

do you have ssh access to this server?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:32 AM

#

yep

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:34 AM

#

okay ssh in

sudo -i

cd /var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/container-id

^ replace with actual command to get into ur server but it’ll be something like that

chmod +x run.sh

./run.sh

#

this will start the server with the shell script and if that doesn’t work then there’s a larger issue which will need to be fixed

#

but if that works then we know it’s just a config/startup parameter issue

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:35 AM

#

i dont know the command to get into server, how do i find it??

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

Did you ever post your install logs ?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

dull coyote Did you ever post your install logs ?

completely forgot, my bad

#

1 sec

#

📎 installer.jar.log

#

that it?

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:37 AM

#

hallow yoke Look at the install logs to find out what went wrong. ``.logs`` in <#40410568333...

This ^

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:38 AM

#

oh ok

cosmic leaf Oct 31, 2024, 8:38 AM

#

It looks like your install has failed.
We need your install logs to see why the install may have failed. Use the command below on your Wings machine SSH terminal.

If you are on 1.x:
tail -n 1000 $(ls -Alrt /var/log/pterodactyl/install/*.log | tail -1 | sed 's/ */ /g' | cut -s -d' ' -f9) | nc pteropaste.com 99
If you are on or upgraded from 0.7:
tail -n 1000 $(ls -Alrt /srv/daemon/config/servers/*/install.log | tail -1 | sed 's/ */ /g' | cut -s -d' ' -f9) | nc pteropaste.com 99

#

there

#

that is log instructions

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:39 AM

#

They've already got it

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:39 AM

#

thanks

#

??

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

Are you running as root ?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

whats the command to do that

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

run sudo su first

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

alr

#

did the command

#

what now

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:41 AM

#

You give us the link it gave you

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

https://ptero.co/eninafojaw

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

Yep your install failed

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

wonderful

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

What memory limit did you assign to the server ?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:42 AM

#

30gb

#

i have 32gb in total

#

i just did what the tutorial told me to do, leave 2gb spare

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:43 AM

#

What is the Allocated Memory set to under Build Configuration set to for this server ?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

0

#

so its unlimitted

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

There's your problem

#

Assigned a real and reasonable limit to the server

#

and click the reinstall button

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

will do

#

i just used to do that is all

#

still crashing the same way

#

i gave it 12gb

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:46 AM

#

and you click the button to reinstall ?

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:46 AM

#

nope, i just restarted it mb

#

it worked

#

still confused why it doesent let me do the 0 thing though

#

cus i used to do it

#

thank you very much for all ur help though

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:49 AM

#

When the installer script runs it runs in a special container, the memory limit on that container is either the game servers memory limit, or a limit set in the wings config. What ever is larger

#

But the limit set by default in the wings config file isn't enough to run the forge installer

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:49 AM

#

oh ok

dull coyote Oct 31, 2024, 8:50 AM

#

and 0 is of course smaller than the wings default limit, so all it gets is the wings default limit

random trail Oct 31, 2024, 8:50 AM

#

alr

#

well, thank you again, cus i wouldnt of figured that out other wise
