Looks like you put the contents of the bat into the terminal instead of dragging the bat file into the terminal

#

No I just dragged the bat file into the termial

mortal knoll Jan 7, 2025, 9:29 PM

Show me a screenshot of the terminal

#

you can use windows key + shift + s to take a screenshot

#

Should look something like this before you press Enter

Open your Bat file and change it to say this

#

Err Paste me the contents of the bat file first

Should be in the #install-and-connection pins

This is what is in it "node\node.exe foundryvtt\resources\app\main.js --port=30000 --dataPath=./foundrydata"

#

node\node.exe foundry\ VTT\resources\app\main.js --port=30000 --dataPath=./foundrydata

#

Your folder names are different

fair tendon Jan 7, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

It's Windows, so generally you need quoted strings, not escaped ones

mortal knoll Jan 7, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

Your bat will work if you rename the foundry VTT folder to foundyvtt

fierce field Jan 7, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

#

Heeey it works! Thanks both of you. So much 🙂

does this open a foundry instance http://127.0.0.1:30000

fierce field Jan 7, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

Ok yeah, that worked. Yes it does.

That means you are already running the bat in another terminal window

#

You can start closing out all the terminal window you have open and one of them will stop foundry when you try to close it

#

Then you can run the bat again and have just one terminal open

fierce field Jan 7, 2025, 9:47 PM

#

Thanks 🙂 I think I get it now

#

Ok cool, I closed the terminal and went back to that address and it's closed now.

mortal knoll Jan 7, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

Running the bat now should open a terminal and foundry should be reachable again

fierce field Jan 7, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

Yep it works 🙂 Thanks ya'll.

#

Thanks again. 🙂 I only really use Foundry as a handy solo VTT because I'm in a tiny apartment and don't have a lot of room to play in physical space. I want to try out Stars Without Number and it wasn't up to date with the newest version. You both helped me immensely.

mortal knoll Jan 7, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

No problem

#

I use an instance for solo play too 😄
