#

I spun up a thread because this one is going to take a few

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

ok thank you

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

So there is an easy way and a hard way

#

The easiest way is to use something like filezilla or cyberduck and use the gui to move the files you need to move around

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

ok i have cyberduck. i tried using it before for something

#

but failed miserably

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

Okay let's do it the messy way then

#

from your ssh screen in putty

#

type ls and show me a screen shot so I can see where we're starting from

#

Start by shutting down foundry with pm2 stop foundry

#

Then we need to make a new folder to put foundry into

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

#

the folder 'amodeo' is me trying to make a new folder before

#

so that is just empty

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

okay so we're going to remove foundry and download a new copy

#

it's the easier way

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

it took me so long to get this up and running before. That sounds terrifying lol

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

So lets start with this command rm -r resources/ this will prevent the bad foundry from being executed

#

I'm going to walk you through it just copy and paste my commands

#

go to this page and grab the timed link for 0.8.9 for Linux/Node.js

#

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:55 PM

#

ok

#

done

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

now in the ssh terminal do wget -O foundryvtt.zip "PATHLINKHERE"

#

the link needs to be in quotes

#

it should take a moment and download the file

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:57 PM

#

ok done

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:58 PM

#

now type unzip foundryvtt.zip -d ~/foundry/

#

it should show all the files being extracted

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:58 PM

#

#

error

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

You downloaded the widnows temp link instaed of the node/linux one

idle elm Dec 6, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

oh shit. i see what I did

shut ember Dec 6, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

You'll need to remove the badfile one second

#

run rm foundryvtt.zip

#

then go back a step and use the correct link

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:00 AM

#

much better

#

ok done

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

okay now do cd foundryvtt

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

ok

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

we're going to verify it will start but we're not done yet

#

run node foundry/resources/app/main.js

#

it should start up foundry and say foundry is running

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

error

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

paste a screen shot

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:02 AM

#

ah my mistake sorry

#

do node resources/app/main.js

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

saem error

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

type ls

#

and paste screenshot

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

foundryvtt.zip is only thing shown

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

ah you didn't unzip

#

unzip foundryvtt.zip -d ~/foundry/

#

we're also in the wrong folder

#

so we will swap in a moment

#

cd ~/foundry/ should get us to the right folder after that has extracted

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

#

is this better?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

yep!
now node resources/app/main.js

#

You can use windows+shift+s to take a smaller screencap by the way

#

it auto copies the area you select to your clipboard so you can just paste into discord with control+v

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:07 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

Do pm2 list

#

thought we stopped foundry

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

it sasy status stopped

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

do ps -aux | grep node

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:08 AM

#

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:09 AM

#

you have node running in a screen

#

okay do screen -ls

#

and paste the screen shot

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:10 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

screen -r 3624

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:11 AM

#

control+c

#

should give you back to a prompt

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

yep

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

then exit

#

should kick you back to the previous screen

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

it clsoed putty

#

closed

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:12 AM

#

hmm didn't want to do that

#

open putty back up

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

okay ps -aux | grep node again

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:13 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

perfect

#

cd ~/foundry

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

ok

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

then node resources/app/main.js

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:14 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

perfect

#

okay control+c

#

Should be back to the prompt

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

yes

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

pm2 delete 0 do this 3 times

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:15 AM

#

#

three seperate commands or three times in one line?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

3 seperate times

#

we want to clear the pm2 list

#

you had 0 instances of foundry in there

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:16 AM

#

after 3 times do pm2 list it should be empty

#

hmm looks like it no longer reorders lol

#

pm2 delete 1 pm2 delete 2

#

then pm2 list should be empty

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

success

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

Great now pm2 start "node /home/ubuntu/foundry/resources/app/main.js" --name foundry

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

ok

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

pm2 save

#

You should now be able to access foundry the same way you used to

#

Now the upgrade from 0.7 to 0.8 is a big one. You need to make sure you update your systems

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

once you load your world the first time it's going to do a migration that is going take a few. Just wait it out

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

ok

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:19 AM

#

Your modules also all need updated

#

Some of the ones you used before may not be around anymore

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

ok, thats fine

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

You should be good to go at this point

#

so just pull up foundry and make sure

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

wow you are amazing

#

uhoh

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

there is 1 last thing I'd recommend on the putty window before you close it

#

what happened?

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

It's loading the wrong files it seems

#

press control+f5

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

i ahvent closed putty. shoudl I?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:22 AM

#

you should see foundry 0.8.9 at the bottom of the screen

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

7.10 is what it is giving me

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:23 AM

#

then something is wrong

#

open putty back up

#

we deleted 0.7.10

#

can you send me your link to your game real fast?

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

i still have putty open from before. is that bad?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

it shouldn't matter we stopped foundry from running

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

just open up my world and shoot you the link?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:24 AM

#

don't open your world yet

#

just shoot me the link you used to get to the admin panel

#

it wont let me login i don't have a password

#

I just want to verify it serves the correct files

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:41 AM

#

While we're here do you want me to help you make it so you can use www.amodeothegreat.com instead of amodeothegreat.com:30000?

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:42 AM

#

sure!

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:42 AM

#

run this

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo apt-key add -
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list```

apt-get install caddy

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:43 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:43 AM

#

sudo apt-get update

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:44 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:44 AM

#

sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

Make the file look like this

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:45 AM

#

just copy and paste that in?

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:45 AM

#

Ah it looks like caddy failed in the other screen

#

yeah

#

paste that in

#

then control+x and y to save

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:46 AM

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:46 AM

#

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:46 AM

#

just press control+x

#

something is wrong

#

I am out of time to trouble shoot that step but we can do it later

#

http://www.amodeothegreat.com:30000

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:47 AM

#

its all good! you have helped immensely

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:47 AM

#

Your game is online here

#

Put an admin password on it

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:47 AM

#

man, if you are ever in Victoria BC I need ot buy you lunch!

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:47 AM

#

Ha. Glad to help

#

seriously though make sure you put a password on the admin window. Right now anyone can edit stuff

#

There you go

#

make sure you update the module and system before launching the world

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

will do

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

if you see me around later I can help you get caddy setup

#

I have to go make the kids dinner

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

thank you again so much. I cant explain how much this helped. Seriously.

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:49 AM

#

It's a bit messy in there now

#

which is why we had a hard time

#

You had 3 versions of foundry installed 3 different ways

idle elm Dec 7, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

lol

#

thats me, a horticulturalist, trying to code

shut ember Dec 7, 2021, 12:50 AM

#

🤣

#

Glad you're up and running! Happy gaming!
